I think last time I moved them was February last year. They took a little convincing but nothing like this. I sprayed them down with PB last week a couple times thinking I was going to have time to do a rebuild. Can't really say it helped much. Climate up here (Calgary, Canada) puts us in salted and sanded roads for nearly 8 months of the year and no matter how well you clean and lube everything turns to shit eventually.
I cracked the lower cap off which was a nice surprise to see how clean it was. Earlier this year I bought some ~4 year old fox 2.0 with reservoir and compression adjuster that were completely crusted and seized.

Soaking in oil for about a week with holes drilled in the bottom cap of the shock. Just praying something loosened up

No luck. Time to drill out the cap and break the outer edge away, being careful not to destroy the bearing cap underneath.

Got the remaining bit of cap off, unfortunately the threads on the bearing cap were ruined. 3' pipe wrenches conquer all

Stole a new bottom cap and lower bearing from another set of destroyed shocks my local shop had and rebuilt everything. If I added up the hours trying to rebuild these things it would have been way cheaper just buy some new ones. But for $300 and another $50 for seals and oil it was nice to get into these and see the internals. Plus they ride as good new, look like hell though.
