Help!! Fox 2.5 DSC spring removal question

I have a guy buying my fox 2.5 with DSC controls. He doesn’t need the spring so I was gonna take them off, even will help on shipping cost! Will I have to break down the entire shock ( take the remote reservoir off ) to get the spring off? Or is there a way to compress the spring and remove the shock seat over the lower end of the shock? Any help is appreciated!!

 

You are correct, the spring needs to be compressed and the lower spring seat can be lifted up to reveal a two halves of a lock washer held together by a rubber o ring. Once that is removed, you can pull out the spring seat and springs through the bottom.

 

Thanks for the helpful info!

 

We strongly suggest taking this to a shop to have done with a bench style spring compressor. These springs are very stiff and can be very dangerous of you use a handheld spring compressor or auto store rental.
