How to Rebuild Fox Shox MTB Shock. Trail Breaker

How to rebuild an service any Fox Shox mountain bike rear shock.
I'm really overdue for a shock service on my 2018 Trek Fuel EX 9.8. Even by conservative standards I should have done this twice by now. The process is straight forward and a great project for anyone to try.

Here's a link to the universal kit that works on ALL Fox Shox models. Clicking on it costs you nothing but helps to support my channel. Thanks!

I prefer to incrementally air it down while cycling the shock through its travel to equalize the air trapped in the negative side of the air chamber. Otherwise, you can get a "stuck down" shock that can be difficult to remove and may fly off violently once the air can is unscrewed.

The only other tricky part is reinstalling the second backup washer into the air can. It's a really tight fit in the groove and the ring is slick and stiff. Bend it to get it started and keep it in place with a finger while you manipulate and push it in place. You'll feel like you're ruining the washer but keep going! In the end, just make sure it's smoothed out and even.
