 No mention of what grease to use or how to change the seals if needed.

 it said sus friendly grease...
dunno what one though
|

 We'll do actually changing the seals another time. Most of the time it won't be needed, no point over-complicating things.
As for grease, whatever brand of suspension-oriented grease you like or can easily get. Pace, Makt, Finish Line, Manitou, Fox's own, whatever.

 We like Manitou Prep M in the workshop at the moment. Has knocked Pace RC-7 Grease out of the grease gun.
|
|
Mark: there's a short video that can be downloaded from the Fox website showing seal replacement. It looks quite easy!
|
|
Wow, celebrity greasematch. Did the Manitou stuff fight dirty?
|
|
Very clean, although it couldn't make any of its punches stick!
da dum, I thang u...

 Did my Fox shok a couple of months ago,
putting the new seals in was really easy. Got them from Mojo, had a chat with them on the phone before I did the seal change, and I asked them what grease to use. When I suggested the Manotou Prep M grease they said no way, its more like Swarfega than grease. I then suggested the Finish Line Teflon grease and they said that was OK.
To now its had a few hammerings at Betws y Coed and up in the Clwydians, and all is OK -)

Finish Line Teflon gubbins is an oil, not a grease. It's a different matter. It's very good for on stanchions and keeping wet seals wet,(eg Psylos, Fox Floats etc) but not for use on 'dry' forks, or shocks, that's where Manitou Prep M comes in. eg, on my USE SUB or Pace RC36/38 etc

 So what's the best grease to use 5 years on I wonder? 
|
|
 Do these instructions apply to the newer swinger three way at all? Had mine just under a year and it could prob do with some attention- am concerned about the neg spring and pre set SPV chamber.. Anyone?
|
|
i always use a lithium based grease and also a small amount of float fluid in the air chamber
