Its pretty straight forward. Tool specific jobs usually blow up maintenance costs but this one isnt bad. The seal driver is easy to make on a lathe. I got the socket for only 12 bucks. I hope crush washers come in the seal kit because its a stat.
Very good video with great explanation. I have the same Reba and I am thinking of service, but I will leave it to pros to do that, of course with service set for my fork.
Isn't it full service? And after assembly, you should start with 20 or so psi then equalise it with the negative chamber and work towards desired preassure
Good effort put into video but not great results. Poor camera work. Narration is not synced well with what's happening on screen. What is the difference between green socket you used and a "regular" socket? This service is not too complicated for a 1st timer. This video might be a good refresher for someone that's already done service on other shocks, but this video is not a good tutorial for a 1st timer.
he showed the bottom of the socket. it's totally flat, so it can grab the shallow top cap that's only a few mm tall. most sockets are curved for a couple mm on the end and that might prevent the socket from being able to grab onto the top cap. even if it does work, it could damage the cap. you could just grind down an existing socket so it's flat on the end. there's also a variety of top cap wrenches in various styles available online
The green socket is machined flush. A typical socket is forged, and has a slight "ramp" from the lip to the hex (or more commonly 12 point) recess for the nut/bolt head. Since the hex portion of the cap is so small, there is a chance it will round if you use a more typical socket. If you have a good wrench like a Wrightgrip, you can break it loose with that, then use a normal socket. Or you can buy a cheap socket, and grind down the lip to make it flush.
This is the best video on this topic I have found. Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions.
amazing tutorial👍 today I learned why I go to the shop😂 I dont have near enough of a tool collection to attempt this. Yet.
Absolutely the BEST Reba Service Video on TH-cam…. New Subscriber, Thank You…. 🇺🇸
Thanks and welcome

just a very good clear video surprised by lack of views
My Reba has stiction problem, what do you think is wrong with this.? I just serviced it still has the same issues

Yes and yes
What about the bottom cup? I could not spot it in the video.
Maybe a good service instruction but where to get which parts and tools???

Yep, grab a typical socket, place sandpaper on flat surface, and sand away. Takes 15min or so.@@harryking8498
