2017 Monarch debonair - if you've worked on one, you've probably cursed at RS for not putting wrench flats on the canister because when you twist it to remove it, the outside spins.

So here's my question--The outside of the canister (the sleeve) is removable by taking off the O-ring. Once the O-ring is removed, the sleeve comes off. This gives you a grip on the part of the can that's threaded.

The same applies when putting it back together, plus the air can come out of the ports without using the force needed to rape a gorilla (needed to catch the first thread).

But that's my other concern. Does doing that eliminate (negative?) air pressure in the shock that's needed?

Nah the negative air pressure side equalizes when you pump it up and compress it a few times. You can assemble it whichever way is easiest.
