Remove Fox Shock Eyelet Bearing WITHOUT Fox Tool

Музыка

Those bearings WILL have to come out in order to do a routine service, and odds are you don't have the proprietary tool to remove them. Here's how to do it with some typical things found around your bike shop and a little Ace Hardware magic.

    It really pisses me off that Fox sells a $30 mounting hardware upgrade that subsequently requires a $130 tool to do an air can service. I think I may buy the bearing kit and use a tap on the threads before installing. Great ideas here. Thanks.

    Awesome work around and video. Wondering if you could confirm if the 2 bearing cup bolts are m12 1.25 pitch?

    Since he said "half inch fine thread", that should mean 1/2 inch major diameter with 20 threads per inch.

    For sure the true thread is metric, closest thread to 1/2in 20 TPI would be M12 x 1.25mm

    2:37 is probably the worst mechanical advice of any sort I've ever seen on KZread. Don't do what he does folks, get a bolt with the correct threads, or get the proper tool.

    If you don't understand why I'm doing it that way you missed the entire point. Go find the "right" bolt and tell me what you learned.

    ugh... "almost the same size" ... just force it through with the wrong thread? I just prefer buying the correct tool. Actually, just received it. When you spend $6-8-10K per bike, and when you spend $500-1000 on a shock, and you have several bikes (I have 7, 5 with fox shocks) I think spending $110 on the proper tool is the correct thing for me to do. +1 ... if you sell this, someone will be very-very screwed (pun intended) when they ruin these messed up cups, and/or their PROPER tool, and end up with the cups with broken threads stuck in a shock... One reason I don't buy used bikes is because of mechanics and "home mechanics" doing hacks like this...
