Pre tapped thread, rolled up post-it note and pliers has always worked for me

Here's a very useful tool for proper application and very cheap. It can also be used for holding damper bodies, turnbuckle holder, wire holder when soldering, pivot ball insert, etc.

All the 80mm are available in red. I'm using the gold but used an extension on my shock tower to accommodate. 

@Bwaaatch this ^. I've also done this method to a friend's shocks and to my Wild One when I upgraded the shocks. Just make sure that the o-rings you use is smaller in diameter than the piston so it won't block oil flow inside the damper.

Thanks guys, super useful

For buggies or crawlers, I highly recommend this...

KYX. They come in 80-100mm. I've tried several shocks for my CFX and this is the best and have no plans of changing again.

 

What bore are these? I’m looking for a std bore set for my DT03

These are standard bore with damper body 12.5mm (outer) and piston rod/shaft is 3mm.

Does anyone have any experience with Kawada/ Beat X shock shaft guides?
