Anyone know where I may find directions on how this is done? I know Enduro has some good info, but nothing on Talas even though they sell a Talas wiper seal replacement kit. Also don t have info on how much oil, wt......etc. Any help is appreciated.
You can look at the pics for the F100X at our site while following this basic procedure:way2slow said:Anyone know where I may find directions on how this is done?

That's because you don't remove the TALAS. It's not end-user serviceable. It says so right on the top cap. You'll have to send it back to Fox or PUSH Industries for a TALAS rebuild.Shleppy said:Nobody appears to be addressing Way2Slow's actual question here.... None of the Fox manuals or the enduro seal instructions make any mention of how to remove the Talas side (the side with the air preload) on any Talas fork. I looked throug all of the fox manuals from 2004 to 2006 and there is no mention or instructions on how to remove the Talas side. All the instructions mention that you need to remove the air preload cap with a 26mm socket after you remove the bottom nut and drain the oil, but you can not remove the top air cap on a talas with a socket because the entire outside ring of the talas air spins freely and has no socket surface at all.
How do you remove the Talas side (air side) of a Talas fork? I am attempting to do an oil change and a seal change so I am assuming I will need to pull the air side assembly out.
Does anyone know of the proper procedure for dealing with a Talas fork specifically?
Thanks,

That's because you don't remove it when doing a routine oil and seal change. If you were to take the cap off of the TALAS side, you would enter a whole new world of required tools and knowledge. Everything you need to do with the TALAS side is listed in the step by step already posted above. The TALAS may operate simply, but it is not a simple design internally. Of course, like many other things on this board, there are those who have the tools and knowlege and will say that it is not too hard to service the TALAS cartridge yourself. Trust me, the average DIY mechanic should not disassemble the TALAS cartridge.Shleppy said:Nobody appears to be addressing Way2Slow's actual question here....

Remove the air cap then use a 10mm socket to remove the nut holding the Schrader valve. That'll allow you to remove the travel adjust knob. Under there you'll see the familiar 26mm topcap. You'll also see a red screw and a couple of other screws. I wouldn't mess with those unless you have the FOX IFP tool, which grants you access to the TALAS air chamber, which is accessed through the port under the red screw. (I think you can use a football needle if you feel the need to mess with the internals here.)Shleppy said:Nobody appears to be addressing Way2Slow's actual question here....
