Re: rock shox reba - issues and help (ebay & practical conte
Nice forks.
I've read through the manual and it advises that to service the damper the lower legs need removing. Is it possible to do the removal and o-ring replacement without doing this, as I'm after finding out if this solves the issue quickly rather than doing a full fork service to then discover this is not the issue.

The lockout unit can be unbolted from the top if needed, though to replace the little O ring even that isn't necessary.

Interesting, so can I unbolt the entire damper unit with the legs still attached, seal the o-ring, drain and refill with 123ml of oil, then screw it back together?suburbanreuben":2hv316pt said:

I used these instructions :

And bought these sockets :
I filed the chamfers off the 24mm socket to give it full engagement with the flat ally head on the forks (to minimise the potential for it to slip) - worked perfect

You trying to confuse the fella , WD? You're showing the air spring piston, which he doesn't need to touch! The lockout unit is the other side!

Longer term I will do a full service.
Nearly forgot, do you know what seals and o-rings I'd need for the task at hand? Seen a few service kits so want to make sure I get the right one with all the bits I need.
Thanks for the offer. I will do a full service, but want to initially confirm that the lock out/motion control damper is in working order. I've had a leak so assume the deals need replacing, and oil topping up, so my main question for the short term is can I do this without taking the whole fork apart I.e. just remove the damper, replace seals and o-rings, fill with oil, refit damper and away I go.Synthesis":37srxhrr said:

Get a full service kit for it, it´s cheaper in the long run. If you need oil just buy any brand fork oil at your local motorbike/car spare parts store. The service manual states weight of oil and amount. Kit you need is Reba 2009 solo or dual air, depending on fork.
