A first suspension service usually goes one of two ways. You buy the right tools as you discover what each step needs, and the service stretches across three orders and four weekends. Or you buy the kit that the procedure calls for once, and the first service is finished in the time it takes one weekend to pass. The 1704 Suspension Service Set is the second path. The kit ships with the tools that a fork service depends on across the bench: flat sockets for top caps that a chamfered socket would round, a strap wrench for stubborn air-can collars, the workshop pliers that the bushing-extraction step needs, hex keys at the diameters fork bolts actually use, the small-drive socket sizes the procedure calls for, the bushing extraction and install tool itself, and the seal installation guides matched to the stanchion diameters the fork is built on. What is in the kit Chamferless flat sockets for fork top caps (multiple sizes) Strap wrench for air-can collars and other smooth-collar fittings Adjustable pin spanner Awl Hex key set: 3/64", 1/16", 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm 5 mm 1/4" drive socket with matching socket spinner 10 mm and 15 mm 1/2" drive sockets with 1/2" ratchet Bushing extraction and install tool PYTHON parallel-jaw pliers Set of dust seal installation guides Specs Article: 1704 Carry: fitted tray case Service scope: fork lower-leg service plus deeper teardown work on the air-spring and bushing-replacement steps that go past the home interval Built in Zreče, Slovenia Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The 1704 is the kit we hand to a mechanic doing a fork service for the first time; every tool the published procedure calls for, no upselling, and the bushing-extraction tool that turns the 100-hour service into a benchable job rather than a service-center referral. Pro tip from our mechanics The 1704 is the home-mechanic starter kit for a lower-leg service. The Suspension Service Set 2.0 is the companion option with an expanded seal-driver assortment; if your stanchion diameter is not covered by the 1704's bundled drivers, the 2.0 is the kit that fills in the rest of the size range.
