Hi, I just went to change the volume spacer, let out all the air, unscrewed aircan, loud pop. Now the air can is stuck at the bottom of the shock. As I pump it up it doesn't move and the air leaks out. Rebuild?
Thanks

I'm guessing you didn't fully deflate the shock.
So the pop was air pressure, its forced the air can over the filler stud
It should pull back up if you apply some force, and re seat the can .
Just check seals are good

The same thing happened to me once, I think there's air in the negative side. Used wooden stick and hammer, I got the jam solved with it.
In the same time I heard that the air was released.

Seen in Youtube a video, which advises to remove air from the negative side at the opening as well

Thanks, the air can now moves. I think it's one of the white plastic split seals at the top of the can, it doesn't seat properly.
