Rear Shock Fox rebuild / seal replacement

[gholt]

I was wondering how many of you have rebuilt the fox rear shocks. Mine needs new seals, I think. So, with shops being out quite a bit to perform. I looked at the steps on Fox's site and it doesn't look too hard. I have a RP2, or RP23, and servicing these all the time by the shop tends to add up. the last time I had it serviced, it was ~ $100.

So, has anyone attempted this, and is it as easy as the steps suggest?

Is there anything that I would need to watch for?

Do they really need to be sent to Fox for their service to charge for Nitrogen rather than air?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Videos were pretty simple. The hardest part was getting it off the bike.

Yeah, sorry I didn't see this earlier. But it sounds like you got it figured out. It's not hard at all. I do mine about every 2 seasons. I can do airsleeve rebuilds in about 15 minutes once off the bike.

Is there anything that the shop does in additon to this when they service it, or do they basically just change the air sleeve seals?

Do they take apart the whole shock, or is that something that need to be done regularaly.

Bump, on the question above. Just want to see from the experts.
