Fork Compression Valve Tool – 36mm

Brief Overview

This 36mm fork compression valve tool is engineered specifically for servicing SHOWA SFF and KYB Dual Chamber fork assemblies. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy (T6-6061) and finished with hard red anodizing, this tool provides the precise mechanical engagement required for safe, repeatable compression valve removal and installation. Whether you're rebuilding suspension systems for high-performance motorcycles or performing routine fork maintenance, this tool ensures accurate valve manipulation without damage to critical suspension components. Consider pairing this with precision fork seal drivers for a complete fork service toolkit, or combine with a dedicated compression damping adjuster for comprehensive suspension tuning capability.

Key Features

• Precision-machined aluminum construction – T6-6061 alloy provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion
• 36mm engagement diameter – Specifically calibrated for SHOWA SFF and KYB Dual Chamber compression valves
• Multi-flat octagonal body – Provides secure, non-slip grip during high-torque compression valve operations
• Flanged base design – Distributes load evenly, preventing tool slippage and protecting fork internals
• Hard red anodized finish – Enhances durability, provides visual identification, and resists wear from repeated use
• Hooked valve engagement feature – Precision-formed hook ensures positive, repeatable engagement with compression valve assemblies
• Chamfered edges – Reduces risk of component damage during insertion and removal
• Stepped inner recess geometry – Allows precise centering and alignment within fork bore
