|   2001 Fox Float RC | Crash_FLMB
May 22, 2003 4:49 AM | | My shock was leaking so I picked up some new seals. The manual says to remove all of the air, use a vice and twist the sleeve to remove it. Well I must be a weakling b/c that sleeve is on there super tight and I can't budge it. Tried a little TriFlow with no success. I didn't think it would help b/c that sucker has to be air tight. I'm curious if anyone else has rebuilt one of these and how they got their sleeve off. Any special tools? Or should I just hit the gym more often and bulk up some more? |

Good luck!
