I just did that service few days ago and posted it in my native language.
That white piston from rebound, exited the upper leg with an allen key, the other end of the Allen key.
Those black retainers destroyed me … they exit hard and enter hard… good job sir ✅

[@downtoridemtb]

Great video! Worth mentioning that different years and even different configurations in the same year call for different amounts of oil in the lowers. Just re-did my service after realizing my error (not due to this video). The official service manual is easily searchable online and has a comprehensive chart.

[@Mobimanie]

Awesome Video. When you screw / unscrew the damper / airspring you should put a kitchenpaper inbetween the nut to avoid scratches ❤ love your video, my mtb shop refuses to service my Webshop bike, so I decided to become a bike mechanic now😂❤

[@mihaichiriac480]

That black rubber at 10:17 after the bumper is used to control how much travel your fork has. That's a 20mm offset spacer. Remove it and you'll have a 120mm fork. Add another one and you'll have an 80mm fork. You can also find 10mm spacers.
Hope this comment helps someone :)

When I first learned that a Judy can be travelled to 120mm, I was intrigued. But this will probably change the bike geometry too much (not sure if I would really notice... my Judy Silver has voluntarily "traveled" to ~ 60mm, I can't say I notice that all that much 😂. The lockout also doesn't work anymore, which is why I am trying to fix this with a service. I hope it is just a bad o-ring that caused damper oil loss. Will see soon.

My RS Recon is waiting,Service pack is ordered,thank u❤

[@AndrewSmith-lj6xq]

Thanks for your video. Great detail and easy to follow.

[@dontfollowthebunny]

[@Jacob99174]

Really great tutorial, thank you!

[@estebanflyer]

Thank you so much for this video. It saved my Judy.

[@johnmc1705]

Wow amazingly done!

[@meinnnit]

The retainer goes on easy if you heat with hot air before putting. I spent nearly an hour wrestling it. Heated it. Popped on immediately 😊

[@pedrozamora2458]

you are awesome!!! came here for this. took all of 5 sec once I heated it up

[@markbayhon]

This is a really good guide!

[@jussiautio6794]

Thank you so much. Just started to service this shock on my son’s bike and those retainer clips were making me mad. This helped!

[@estebanflyer]

Thanks!

[@NeRR2]

Just found your channel, thanks for the uploads. G'day from Australia!

[@giuliopelliccia6938]

Thanks you very very much!!!

[@renehoude7705]

Well done! Thks!!! :)

[@JogieGlenMait16]

I may need this information in the future to fix my own Judy air fork from my XCaliber 8.

[@whaterfoo]

I used it for the Judy air fork on my shwinn

[@sutsingh4091]

I love your content. This and a few other videos the volume is much lower than the others so maybe something to look at.

[@mindaugasrostkauskas9670]

super

[@chadvidt5649]

Can you please list all the oils/weights used and link to the correct rebuild kit! Great video!

[@stevebennett3587]

👌always great vids, havent serviced my recon for a year from new, the rebound doesnt turn much, 90 degrees or so👍🤔

[@mihaichiriac480]

Recon is also a low end fork, don't expect much from it. I have a pre-2018 model and I only serviced it once ( because i wanted to increase the travel to 120mm). I've heaed that the new recon can have up to 140mm, that would be extremely nice for a "downcountry" ht.

[@stevebennett3587]

@@mihaichiriac480 👍i have the 140mm RL, would be nice if there was an upgrade for plastic re-bound key😉😎

[@payusavisit3482]

Which grease is that since i was told it has to be sram butter tell me can we use any other grease please

[@MaciejWiniarczyk]

Pięknie 😄

[@lmaloney977]

The 10mm high sponges seem to be hard to get is it ok to double stack 5mm ones thanks

[@mihaichiriac480]

You can try. Worst case, you put back the old ones until you can find 10mm ones.

[@ALEXGTRful]

Hi, good job, what did you use to clean the sponges? thanks

[@RaffaelloPoltronieri]

alcohol

[@estebanflyer]

5w oil

[@Jzpiii]

What is the oil that you put 6ml of at the end onto the bolt holes?

[@aapovaliharju2135]

I think he put rockshox 15wt

[@TheProjectX3]

Foam rings should be soaked in 15 WT

[@grummbeerbauer3527]

I also wondered when he mentioned 5 WT at that step, I rechecked the Service manual and it is indeed 15 WT for the foam rings.
That aside, great video!

[@MrRoofi1]

A gdzie po polsku?
