Managed to crack the housing on the aircan on my RP23. I am currently trying to source another one second hand (they are pricey from Fox / Mojo). I am looking for either the standard or larger air can as i beleive they will both fit.

Looking on You tube is it just a case of letting the air out, removing the shock and unscrewing the can, replacing together with new seals?!?! It is simply that easy or have I missed something?

Yep pretty much. Just need to add a few drops of fluid to keep the seals sweet.
What size shock is it for? I have a little used HV 190x50 one I don't need

retro83 you don't by any chance have a spare 190x50 or 190x57 air shock for sale do you.

i've got an unused large aircan from my rp23 going, only removed to swap for smaller can, yours for £15 posted?

to fit it, depressurise the shock and then with a vice like hand grip unscrew, simple as that!

Afraid not, just the air can.

Depending on your shock eyelet bushing arrangement, you need to remove one of these too.
