I think someone from a previous thread wanted to know if there was a video of someone undoing the air can on a "stuck down" rp23.
Its pretty easy to do,just make sure you dont wrap your fingers around the end of the can.It could be painfull!!! Keep them up high so the can just shoots out from your grip
Or if its within warranty have someone that knows what there doing at it
My shocks well out of warranty.And I know enough to buy this.

Instead of paying for this. http://www.mojo.co.uk/html(mojo)/foxservicing.htm Saving myself £39 on the cost of a air can service.
Well if you can unstick it the seals and poss bushes will prob need renewing-as they prob caused the prob, thats if your bike is straight
That video is crying out to have the scary screaming face treatment.
you know like this one
Lost me now Mr frosty? When you take of the air can it becomes "un stuck"
Rebuild with the £10 seal kit and the jobs done (well it has every time I've done it)
taxi25 how old/useage has your shock had ?
That video is crying out for a rag put through the eyelet at the end of the shaft to do away with the "cushion at the end of a cardboard box firing range" nonsense... then it just goes "bang!" without the can going anywhere...
There are other reasons why a shock can sd. If the bushes are to stiff can cause the shock to want to hinge= air going from the + to the - chamber = sd shock, also can happen with an uneven load on the shock from miss alined frame (bent or built by numptys)or bollocked frame bearings
I've done this trailside - went off like a shotgun!
servicing an aircan is easy and not worth spending £100 on
