Since most sockets are tool steel, i.e. VERY hard metal, I would recommend just using medium grit sandpaper meant for use on metal, on a belt sander if you have one available.Whirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366936532800376833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279772827714743698.post-35709224488659975292016-01-30T07:34:30.555-08:002016-01-30T07:34:30.555-08:00Thanks for the super informative article!

It makes me wonder if those little details they (Fox) left out (or never bothered updating) are really just their passive aggressive way of trying to keep us from fixing our own stuff using better parts. As an update, the aftermarket (RWC) seals I installed, instead of using the original Fox part, work better, and have held up WAY better than the originals.Whirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366936532800376833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279772827714743698.post-87122293850153010882013-08-08T17:48:47.825-07:002013-08-08T17:48:47.825-07:00Thank you!

I did some gingerly prying but not too much, but then I found your writeup and with a little more gusto, pried it right off.cmhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885163925990294270noreply@blogger.com
