Ok, so I want dismantle my Fox Float RL 140's. Taken the red rebound adjuster off, expecting to see some set screws as per Fox's instructions.....and there's nothing. The blue lockout lever has nothing holding it on.

Seems like a push fit on a shaped shaft but before I start levering away, can anyone confirm?

I think they're 2010 or 2011 models. (non FIT version)

It's a push fit onto a c clip underneath.Levering up with thin screwdriver just marks it.I use a plastic tyre lever against the levery bit and a sharp smack with a hammer (as advised by Mojo).It WILL fly off at great velocity and hit the cat though.

Its a push fit with a little metal spring clip that holds in place.
You can gently pry it off with a thin flat bladed screwdriver.

Spot on! I levered it off with a plastic covered metal tyre lever. No need to whack with a hammer!
