Having a total brainfart. I lower leg serviced my Lyriks yesterday, which stopped the oil leak out the rebound adjuster, but now they don't fully extend. I think I might have compressed the lowers onto the stanchions before doing the foot bolts up (no idea why I did that, never done it before)
Now when I drop the lowers off again, the airspring is completely retracted into the stanchion, even with all pressure released at the valve. Putting a few PSI in brings it back out again, but it shouldn't be like that.
Three sleepless nights of a teething child and my brain cannot work out how to reset everything. Help please!
Edit: sorted it through a combo of taking valve cores out, foot bolts off, yanking it a bit, then pumping up to maximum. Blocked transfer port, I'm guessing?
