Hi chaps,

I've got a new Fox X2 and the bushings are really tight, getting the pin in took a lot of effort. I've always found that they're a tightish fit, where you need to push them through pretty hard. But these were crazy tight.

Are there any special methods for fitting the pins into the bushings with the Fox low friction kit?

Cheers!

Ricks

Mine is like that on my X2. I think it's just out of tolerance. It actually lets go with a crack sound sometimes. I think I really should do something about it.

Hmmm... How did you manage to get the pins in or out?

Bolt and a nylon mallet. Drifted it through. The pin actually came from the old shock and pushed out of that by hand. Leads me to think it's the bushing that needs teaming out a little.
