Guys i need help the Repr gauge in my Leshiy 2 is locked and i dont know how to fix it. My Leshiy doesnt have the secondary bleed screw in the rear so thats not an option. I tried loosening the black adjustment cap and it feels like its under pressure and idk what to do.
Edgun Leshiy 2 Locked Regulator. Need help!

Brian (edgunwest) has a video on it. It’s not fun. You basically have to remove the rear gauge block while under pressure. Your will need some blocks of wood for safety. It’s gonna be LOUD too. Watch the video in its entirety, and then good luck!!

I'm confused here, because I'm not familiar with this reg. So the split o-ring prevents the pressure from the high pressure side from pushing the piston away from the seat to allow air into the plenum? Am I understanding this concept correctly as explained in the video?

High pressure side has a check ball (very small) that keeps the air from entering plenum. The piston has a probe that pushes the check open via spring pressure. As plenum fills, pressure counteracts the spring. This pushes piston probe back away from check ball.
At this point, the oring can extrude and basically lock the piston in place. As pressure in the plenum drops (from shooting), the spring cannot push the piston back to open the check, creating the locked regulator.
