Fox Suspension Static Sleeve Removal Press

No, this specific press is engineered exclusively for Cannondale Gemini rear shocks, specifically the Gemini Dual Travel 2 model. It is not a universal tool for all Fox suspension products.

Static sleeves are often press-fitted tightly into the shock body. Using a specialized tool ensures even pressure distribution, which prevents damage to the delicate internal surfaces of the shock that could occur with improvised methods.

While the press handles the sleeve removal itself, you will still need standard shop tools like wrenches or a vise to operate the press effectively. Always consult your specific shock's service manual for the complete list of required tools.

It is designed for anyone performing their own suspension maintenance. If you are comfortable with basic suspension tuning and disassembly, this tool simplifies the process significantly, though it assumes you have a baseline knowledge of shock service.

Generally, performing your own maintenance does not void a warranty, provided the work is done correctly and does not damage the component. However, if you are unsure about the procedure, it is always safer to have a certified suspension technician perform the service.
