Cane Creek DB Inline Air Can & Bladder Wrench 2023+

This two-sided wrench is designed specifically for the original Cane Creek DB Inline Air shocks, Gen 1 and Gen 2 models produced from 2014 to 2022 and the newer 2023+ that has the teeth all around the can, without piggyback reservoirs and using a pressurized bladder instead of an IFP.

 Important Compatibility Info:

  •  Works only for Cane Creek DB Inline Air 2014–2022 and the newer 2023+
  • ❌ Will not work on Double Barrel piggyback models (DB Coil, DB Air CS, Kitsuma, etc.)
  • ❌ Not Certain If the Bladder Wrench works on the new DB Inline 2023+, to be continued.. 

 What It Does:

This wrench has two sides, one for the air can and one for the bladder cap. The fitment is great to ensure no slipping and maximum engagement. It allows you to cleanly open both threaded components during service without damaging the housing or threads.

(Sadly, I forgot to take a picture when I was using it, but yeah, it's just to unthread the air can from the eyelet like any other air shock.)

 Usage Tips:

  • If you use it on the older version, make sure you are on the most teeths possible.
  • Press the wrench in perfectly straight until it fully seats, if misaligned, it may break.
  • Use a luggage scale + our torque calculator for safe torquing.
  • Typical bladder torque: 40-50 lbs pull on scale. Air can torque: 20-30 lbs is plenty.
  • Numbers are engraved on the tool to help you dial the right torque using the scale-based method.

 To Use the Bladder Wrench Properly:

You must use the Damper Body Shaft Clamp to hold the shock in a vise without damaging the damper body. This tool is required for safe use of the bladder wrench. Again, I know the body shape changed in 2023 so we have to confirm if our clamp works for the newer ones.

 Color Note:

The wrench shown in the product pictures may appear gray, but production units will be printed in black. Gray prototypes were used during material strength testing to find the most durable blend for long-term use.

 Specs:

  • Fitment Tolerance: ±0.01 mm
  • Includes: One dual-head wrench (Air Can + Bladder)

⚠️ This wrench is intended for home mechanics performing standard service intervals. Misalignment or over-torquing can break the tool. Always follow torque guidelines and use a proper damper body clamp when opening the bladder. By using this tool, you agree to our terms and conditions.
