Does anyone a home-brewed idea on how to remove a bushing from a Fox shock? It's badly worn and I
have a new one to install.

Hi C Owen,

try to be typing in foxracingshox.com and sending those nice people an email asking them that same
question. wait for response.

I bought a cute little tool from fox to remove and replace the bushings.. a shaft with a step on it
and a receiver piece that has an ID just big enough to allow the bushing to pass thru.. a few hits
with a hammer and out goes the old and in goes the new..

otherwise you can try using deep socket wrenches to simulate the tool... but not worth it to me as
they are easy to screw up.

with the tool, you can replace the bushing in a matter of two minutes.

I got the bushing installed using the socket trick. Luck for me I didn't screw it up. The company
that I bought the bushing from, www.betd.co.uk , had a cool looking tool but it was kinda expensive.
Thanks for the info though.
