RockShox Monarch RT3 Rear Shock Service Kit

This kit contains the essential seals and O-rings required to perform a standard air can service on your Monarch RT3 shock. It provides the specific components needed to refresh the air spring system, which is the primary maintenance step recommended at the 50-hour interval.

Yes, you will need a few specific tools, including a strap wrench or a specialized air can tool to remove the shock body, along with high-quality suspension grease and shock oil. It is also helpful to have a shock pump on hand to reset your sag and pressure settings once the service is complete.

If you notice your shock feeling sticky, losing air pressure, or becoming less responsive to small bumps, it is likely time for a service. Even if it feels fine, sticking to the 50-hour interval is the best way to prevent internal wear and avoid more costly repairs down the line.

This specific kit is designed for the Monarch RT3. Because RockShox produces several variations of the Monarch series, always verify your shock's specific model and year against the manufacturer part number 00.4315.032.330 to ensure a perfect fit.

While it is technically possible to service the air can while the shock is still mounted, it is significantly easier and cleaner to remove the shock from the frame first. Removing it gives you better access to the seals and allows you to thoroughly clean the shock body before reassembly.
