R7 EXPERT / PRO SERVICE GUIDE
Insert Manitou 8mm Thin Wall
Socket onto the end of the
compression rod and rotate
clockwise. The comp rod end
tting will move toward the inside
of the casting. Continue rotating
until end tting disengages
completely from casting threads.
Remove casting from fork. It is
recommended this be done over
a drain pan as the lower casting
contains semi-bath oil. Allow oil
in casting to drain out before
continuing to next step.

Using a downhill tire lever or similar
tool, gently pry the dust seals out
of the casting.
CASTING REMOVAL & SERVICE
Note: the compression rod can also be loosened
by using an 8mm box end wrench on the external
hex and a 4mm hex wrench on the internal
hex of the comp rod end tting. Rotating both
wrenches clockwise simultaneously will loosen the
compression rod, reducing the risk of damaging a
seized end tting.
