works shock rebuild

[400exrider_88]

took off the shock on my 400ex to replace a seal. can anyone tell me what model it is so i can get the right seal? they are front shocks with resevoirs. i need to know how to take the shock apart so i can get to the seal

[Pono]

which seal are you talking about?

[400exrider_88]

its on the bottom, i need to know if i can do the job myself, it could be as simple as an O-ring, but i might have both shocks serviced by a dealer

You have to be careful not to drop any of the springs and balls that works uses for valving. We charge $60 to service the front pair and $12.50 per shock for seals

[400exrider_88]

yeah, thanks think i might do that when i get some money. i was looking at works shocks website and they recomend that racers get their shocks serviced every 5 races. does anyone actually get that done?

Yeah, people with sponsorships and dedicated mechanics. My rear shock is a little overdue for a service.... 8 years overdue.:(

[Colby@C&DRacing]

we recommend every 6 months if you race or ride alot.
