Hi guys,
I'm in the middle of servicing my DHX 4.0 and really need to get into the pro pedal (effectively LSC) part of the shock. to do this i need to unscrew the 'air canister' from the main body (black part) of the shock.
my main problem is that i can not get enough grip on the air canister to unscrew it. i have special wooden blocks that i use to hold the shock in a vice, but even these can't hold it without slipping.
does anybody know of a trick to get this canister off? i have tried everything except a pipe wrench... which i'm not going to use, unless it involves smashing the sh*t out of it through frustration
is it definitely a right hand thread?
btw, i have taken the rest of the shock apart. i.e. schraeder valve has been removed, internal floating piston (IFP) has been removed.
i realise that these shocks are supposed to be sent away for a 'professional' service, but i enjoy doing these things myself and i'm usually pretty good at it.
Cheers,
Hugh
