Pace RC150 Monster Suspension Fork Service and Maintenance

Tools required and recommended

Good set of allen keys, not worn or damaged. Some of the bolts are shallow and easily rounded (Brace bolts for example)
Internal circlip piers, I tried doing some of the basics and large circlips with sniped nose pliers, but circlip pliers are essential for all the smaller circlips.
18mm spanner (pref closed end) for lower leg nuts, they are made from soft aluminum and easily damaged.
Small straight blade screwdriver approx 2mm across, for compression adjuster and levering top adjuster knobs off.

Firstly, I am not an expert in servicing mountain bike forks or work in the bike industry, i have only done a general service and oil change on my other Pace forks (RC36 Proclass 2 with lockout).

I like to maintain my own bike and look after all components on the bikes I own, so resisted the urge to send to Pace for servicing, after all i would learn nothing from that!

I bought these Pace RC150 Monster forks when looking for a cheap pair of long travel suspension forks for a new free ride bike i was building (Coyote DH3). I made the mistake of buying in the dark without a proper examination of the forks. It turns out the forks had several issues and i could find very little information about them on the web, so here is what i have learn about the RC150s from my rebuilding and servicing. If anyone finds this information I hope it is of use to you.
