"Every time I get stuck or forget a step I refer to one of your well explained and concise videos and I get my work done fast" Phew!! I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😁 Very glad to hear they come in handy and thank you very much for the comment! More videos to come 👍
Both companies have their issues, but the frame manufacturers specify the use of bearing cups in shocks. The common solution for most has been to carve new threads, but YMMV
Thank you so much for the heads myman 👍. I had no idea rocky mountain bike sold a similar tool. and for significantly less than fox. I'll put the link in the description in case other are interested.
My sincere apologies for the delayed response, this one literally fell through the cracks. A 12mm won't work. It needs a 1/2" bolt with very fine threading as opposed to fine threading. Problem is, most hardware stores only carry fine threading at 1/2". Technically, you can use a 1/2 tap to tap new threads; or you can try and do the same with a 1/2 bolt. Basically, FOX used a rare thread type on a common bolt size so they could sell a proprietary tool.
@@zoubtube I ended up buying a 28TPI 1/2 tap and die set. Then sand the tap a bit to dull the edges then use it to tap the bearing cups out. So its a 28 TPI 1/2 bolt that you need.
@@deadfinggerzThank you so much for sharing this 👍. I never really looked into it outside of going to my local hardware stores. What's dumb is I have a large tap set and never once did I think about using it to find the right TPI. 😵💫 thank again

Let put it this way, If I could combine the best stuff from each company into one product line, we'd have the best overall mtb suspension products 😉
nice
Glad you liked the video. hopefully it helps out one day 👍
I know Rocky Mountain has a tool for their models that use bearing cups, but no idea if it would have helped you here.

Aarrrgh indeed. Metric is SOOOOO much better in every way! 👍
