Remove Fox Shock Eyelet Bearing WITHOUT Fox Tool

- Those bearings WILL have to come out in order to do a routine service, and odds are you don't have the proprietary tool to remove them. Here's how to do it with some typical things found around your bike shop and a little Ace Hardware magic.
Did he just say "croissant wrench?" 😂
thread spec is 1/2 -28
Thank you 🤘
You just helped me ALOT!
Thanks for your video!
Hi buddy I can imagine my foxs bearing kit will compatible with jadeX ?
or not?
thanks for this awesome video!
All the videos are explaining how to get it out.... is there anything special needed to get it IN? I am thinking of getting a Fox shock
nah, just press it in gently
Awesome work around and video. Wondering if you could confirm if the 2 bearing cup bolts are m12 1.25 pitch?
no It is not M12x1.25
@@bajkysk1103 are you sure about that?
hello, what is the pitch of the two big screws you use to extract the bearing cups please? thank you for your help
Since he said "half inch fine thread", that should mean 1/2 inch major diameter with 20 threads per inch.
For sure the true thread is metric, closest thread to 1/2in 20 TPI would be M12 x 1.25mm
what vehicle is sophisticated ?
It really pisses me off that Fox sells a $30 mounting hardware upgrade that subsequently requires a $130 tool to do an air can service. I think I may buy the bearing kit and use a tap on the threads before installing. Great ideas here. Thanks.
Great video! Keep up the boston work!
2:37 is probably the worst mechanical advice of any sort I've ever seen on TH-cam. Don't do what he does folks, get a bolt with the correct threads, or get the proper tool.
If you don't understand why I'm doing it that way you missed the entire point. Go find the "right" bolt and tell me what you learned.
Always something. Standard can service. Can't get the fahking can out because of the bearings. Instead of 20 minutes now I gotta research this... Nice solution. Just annoying how nothing ever works. There's always some new problem.
Awesome. Thank you!
SOLID. Thank you!
Oh so I need a park tool headset press, but “no special tools” 😂
A socket of the correct size should work
Jesus christ....whilst its a solution its executed with the sort of finnesse I expect a rhino would use to open a can of tuna
Thank you for this vidéo. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ugh... "almost the same size" ... just force it through with the wrong thread?
I just prefer buying the correct tool. Actually, just received it.
When you spend $6-8-10K per bike, and when you spend $500-1000 on a shock, and you have several bikes (I have 7, 5 with fox shocks) I think spending $110 on the proper tool is the correct thing for me to do.
+1 ... if you sell this, someone will be very-very screwed (pun intended) when they ruin these messed up cups, and/or their PROPER tool, and end up with the cups with broken threads stuck in a shock...
One reason I don't buy used bikes is because of mechanics and "home mechanics" doing hacks like this...
Can you tell us the *correct* thread diameter and thread pitch?
@@mattgies its a custom pitch, its not a straight number. You would have to look it up in a machinist handbook.
Close ups are god awful. Can you slow down and show us the exactly what you're removing?
