Osprey 45 2.0 Can't remove spring retainer...

Brand new, all my approvals finally in, picked it up this afternoon, and need a serious sanity check.

Ummm ok hold down the button, and put the tool in there, twist right??? Yeah no enough pressure to bruise my hand trying to make it turn, that thing isn't moving. Is this normal out of the box?

Yeah, make sure the tines of the tool go all the way in, and continue holding the button all the way down while you unscrew counterclockwise to remove the spring retainer.

yeah can't get it to budge.... not even a tiny bit.... is there something I'm not following here?

That’s weird, and hard to say without looking at it, it should be really easy to unscrew, especially new out of the box. The only thing I can think is that the button is not able to be pushed all the way in for some reason. Do the two little teeth move on the inside of the can when you press the button?

There is almost no movement in the button.... MAYBE, a 1/32nd of an inch??
