About This Video

In this video I walk through how I bleed a Fox DHX coil shock with almost no tools. I’m not trying to turn this into a “buy the whole factory kit” situation—this is the real-world way I’d approach it when you just need the shock bled correctly without a bench full of specialty gear. I also point you to the Fox tech video I copied a couple techniques from, because they show a couple small details that make the process go smoother. I’m using the official Fox DHX instructions as the backbone, then simplifying the tool requirements and focusing on what actually matters: getting the air out, keeping things clean, and not making a mess of the hardware. If your DHX feels inconsistent, noisy, or just not right after service, a proper bleed is one of the big “fix it for real” steps. Follow along, use the official steps as your reference, and you’ll end up with a DHX that feels predictable again instead of spiky or weird.
