Thanks and welcome

Very good video with great explanation. I have the same Reba and I am thinking of service, but I will leave it to pros to do that, of course with service set for my fork.

[@KEENY475]

just a very good clear video surprised by lack of views

[@Ddigzdirt]

amazing tutorial👍 today I learned why I go to the shop😂 I dont have near enough of a tool collection to attempt this. Yet.

[@belialheathers897]

My Reba has stiction problem, what do you think is wrong with this.? I just serviced it still has the same issues

[@ptz0n]

What about the bottom cup? I could not spot it in the video.

[@TheProjectX3]

Isn't it full service? And after assembly, you should start with 20 or so psi then equalise it with the negative chamber and work towards desired preassure

[@VvvnimaL]

Yes and yes

[@michaelbauza8315]

Maybe a good service instruction but where to get which parts and tools???

[@edt5276]

Good effort put into video but not great results. Poor camera work. Narration is not synced well with what's happening on screen. What is the difference between green socket you used and a "regular" socket?
This service is not too complicated for a 1st timer. This video might be a good refresher for someone that's already done service on other shocks, but this video is not a good tutorial for a 1st timer.

[@garyg2]

he showed the bottom of the socket. it's totally flat, so it can grab the shallow top cap that's only a few mm tall. most sockets are curved for a couple mm on the end and that might prevent the socket from being able to grab onto the top cap. even if it does work, it could damage the cap.
you could just grind down an existing socket so it's flat on the end. there's also a variety of top cap wrenches in various styles available online

[@harryking8498]

The green socket is machined flush. A typical socket is forged, and has a slight "ramp" from the lip to the hex (or more commonly 12 point) recess for the nut/bolt head. Since the hex portion of the cap is so small, there is a chance it will round if you use a more typical socket. If you have a good wrench like a Wrightgrip, you can break it loose with that, then use a normal socket. Or you can buy a cheap socket, and grind down the lip to make it flush.

[@shallenmccarthy3961]

Yep, grab a typical socket, place sandpaper on flat surface, and sand away. Takes 15min or so.@@harryking8498
