Anyone have a detailed pivot diagram for the Blur? I removed the shock and disassembled the pivots to clean the "squeeky" areas (you all know they squeek) and I dropped the washers from the upper-most pivot (non-shock pivot) . The washers are identical, but each side of the washers are different. I just wanted to make sure I reassembled them with the correct sides in and out.

Thanks

Ken

Might the Blur service instructions from their website have what you're looking for? I happened to copy the link for them in case they might be helpful for my Nomad, since they're still working on the Nomad instructions... http://www.santacruzmtb.com/tech/blurxc_tech.pdf

The following relates to the spacers on a 5th element air, a fox may be different. One side of the spacer shoulder is rounded the other is squared. The o-ring fits against the rounded shoulder and goes against the shock.

I'm in the same position...both of the 'top hat' spacers dropped out when removing the link and I can't tell which way they are supposed to go back in. The instructions don't specify. Vancbiker, thanks for your input, but the original poster was not referring to shock bushings, but rather the spacers that go between the link and the frame. However, in looking at the shock bushings, which are shaped somewhat like the other spacers, it does give a clue as to which way they should go on..

GS_ken, did you find an answer somewhere? Does anyone else know which way these spacers are supposed to go or have any diagrams or other instructions? Thanks

This, from the instructions on the link I posted, doesn't apply? "Place one of the top link washers onto this shaft with the smaller diameter side facing the bearing."

I appreciate the the quick response. Yes, that's it! Thanks, I missed that when I read through it.
