Anyone know the difficulty level on replacing a firing pin? And on another reo, it leaks at the top just under the rm2. Any clue how to fix this? I'm trying to decide if this is something I can handle to do the repairs or if I should send off.
I am very good with tools, and taking things apart and fixing them, but maybe I wasn't gentle enough, as I broke my firing pin last week when I tried to remove it from REO # 1. REO # 1 was sent to Rob for repairs!
I've never had the RM2, but isn't there an o-ring that goes under the RM2?
Super-X has a video (well about 3 really) that shows a rebuild. The interesting thing about the most recent one is that he tests for leaks by using water in the juice bottle, which is also something Rob invented.
I'd also add that when you disassemble a Reo, treat that screw that holds the black delrin cover on very carefully, because if you overtighten that then you will strip the threads it goes into and that is not an easy fix.
