Shock Wrench

[ChrisM]

Wanting to buy the wrench that is used to adjust the shocks, cant remember the name of it, spanner?????
Any who, where can you pick one up? I've tried the channel locks on my 4-wheeler shocks and not going that route again. It works but is not the right tool for the job.

You can get them at most any powersports dealer, about $7 or $8.

Make sure you get the right size, the Fox shocks are different sizes. Anything will work, just having the right one makes it easier.

Here is a link to a good spanner wrench. I bought some cheaper ones first that aren't good for anything.

That's the 1 I bought the third time. Its the best by far. That adjustable 1 is a knuckle buster. I hate it the most. The other 1 I bought would've been good but it was too long and couldn't use it.

Back in the day I used to ride the Beemer Adv bikes and would put Ohlins on them, well the Ohlin wrench works perfect for the front Foxes and I had a couple of those wrenches still around. "Never throw anything away".

I bought a Fox 2.5" from Amazon and it works really well for the back.

I have a 2020 Honda Pioneer 700 and can’t figure out what size/brand spanner wrench I need for the back preload. Any help would be appreciated!

 

[Jchace84]

is it 2” or 2.5” that I need

 

[ch33br0h]

is the final answer on this a 2" for the fronts and a 2.5" for the rears?

 

[Remington]

The answer is whatever works best.

This is the wrench you need. Works great.

Coming with any tools at all are quickly becoming a thing of the past. And the tools they used to come with were stupid cheap anyway. Anyone planning to use those factory toolkits would replace them in a hurry.
