Hi everyone,
Its time to remove the valves to clean/change them,
My question is, do I need any special tools ? Any advice on how to remove the old ones would be appreciated,
Many thanks in advance,
Steve.

Any advice on how to remove the old ones would be appreciated, Many thanks in advance, Steve. Hi Steve, the removal tool should have been included with the kit. Small metal part with a slot in one end and two nodes on the other. You place a suitable screwdriver into the slot and then place the end with the nodes into the two recessed slots cut into the valve face. Unscrew ACW. Once the valve is out remove the black rubber seal on top of the mag. Carefully clean out the valve space. When you put in your new valve take care not to overtighten it as the small oring at the front can be destroyed. Before replacing the mag top seal you can rub it over with a little pellgun oil. |
