When servicing fox forks, got a pair of fox float 32`s and recently had the kashima upgrade, now i just want to clean the seals up a bit and re-lube the foam rings and wipe any dirt excess away etc, i dont think ill need to change the oil as its only been a few month since the upgrade, im told if i leave the forks upsidown 30 mins before i take off the lowers they will hold most of the oil correct? and top up again if need be? can i do it this way cheers?

Yes leave upside down, for 30 mins/ an hour and most of the oil will drain into the uppers, so should be fine, top up with 5ml per leg when refitting 😀

Really useful guide here http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/features/maintenance/fox-forks-wiper-seal-service.htm , they use some 32's but I followed this when I stripped my 36 float r's for the first time, was easy.
