Float RP23 Rebuild

This is not a rebuild as the title implies. If you need a tutorial for air can seals you have the mechanical skills of a gerbil.

Thanks, mine holds air but has traces of fluid on the shaft that I have to wipe off every now and then, but my propedal / lockout and rebound is not working, I don't think this will help??

6 dollars and 50 cents??? 22.50 USD is what this costs in Belgium. For 75 cents worth of rubber O-rings and plastic shims..... + 7 bucks shipping costs of course! And you know what it costs to have it replaced by some Fox endorsed suspension center? 168 USD + 20 bucks shipping costs. And this video is all very nice, but do this yourself at home and there goes your warranty. Personally I urgently need a new set of 2cm washers to fit next to the bushings, and those are nowhere to be found of course!

how about better resolution than 240 Fox??? ...hard to make out some of the insertion points etc. and why not anyway?!

Thanks for the how-to. I bought a 1999 Specialised FSR last month and am studying how to service and maintain it. ( But I haven't ridden it yet, due to a lack of nerve... soon, soon! )
I haven't checked the Fox shox yet- they seem to be in good shape, and may be originals from 1999... :-)

Do you have a video for the DHX 5 Air service? Would rather trust Fox themselves instead of other parties.

what is the seal kit number please

Great video and step by step. Only hiccup i had was that one of the split-ring backup rings got a bit stretched when i put it on and wouldnt close right, making it impossible to put everything back. I had to "reshape it" a bit in order to get everything to get seated again. No more stuck down shock! :)

Just rebuilt my RP-3 Shock for a 2009 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Elite exclusively using this video. I had never done it before. 90 mins later, I had successfully rebuilt my shock! Awesome video with spot-on guidance!

just realized that this vid was shot in one take. :-D

How do you remove the FUCKING aluminium spacers at the bottom?
Without munching them with plyers.

Wow, piece of cake! Took me 35min to disassemble, install new seals, and install shock back on bike. Super easy.

Got my parts in put them on a fox float triad this morning. Im on my way to test it out now. Great video made lots of sense easy instructions, thanks

Im ordering parts today because you made it look so simple

Very nice and sexy voice.

I had a really hard time getting that seal out of the sleeve. The screwdriver wasn't able to stab in enough to get a grip and it would slip out. After MANY attempts I ended up using a retractable razor blade and pried it out with that. FYI

is it the same for fox RP3 ?

Yeah, 8-40 months makes more sense to me... for us it has been when the shock stops holding air well. We ride year-round on PNW wet/muddy trails and the FOX rear shocks have held up really well for a long time between seal replacement.

Great how to video. This service was overdue on my bike. This made it easy and affordable to do myself. The only mildly confusing thing was the large o-ring placement in the top of the main shock body. It needs to fit into the recess above the threads. thanks for posting!

First time I've tried doing this. Muddled around a bit but the video was extremely helpful. Shock is holding air and I'm good to go.
