Been thinking about getting a GG...

[RippleInStillWater]

Yeah, when I get a used GGTS I break it down, glan all the pieces and threads, and then rebuild with new orings (the oring store!!!) per Zoranth's illustrations. If you haven't printed yourself copies of those, do so, it will explain things so very much better, Zor is frakkin' awesome!!!

Don't feel bad, it's the first thing I did when I got a UFS was push the center pin out and then destroyed one of the orings... curiosity gets the better of me too at least you didn't just cram it back in there and force it (Arkansas method)

Oh I did, but the o-ring popped out. I *think* it's slightly torn but I already have another set on the way so that should take care of it.

I also can't get the plastic stop off of the center post nut... meh. don't want to break the stop.

Try wrapping a rubber band around the derlin to help get a grip and use a socket or pliers with a cover on the but should do the trick.

Just to make sure you get those little o rings in right(very common issue), here's the procedure from the gg wiki-
Replacing the Atty Connector center pole o-rings:

Unscrew polygonal nut(1 on diagram)
Take out the center pin and the polygonal nut out of the delrin connector(4)- no need to remove connector usually
Push out the o-rings from the connector if they are stuck inside (use the center pin)
Clean the o-rings put vaseline on them
Put the polygonal nut onto the center pin
Put the o-rings on the center pin so that the polygonal nut is stuck between the bottom of the center pin and the o-rings
Push the assembly carefully into the connector
Screw the polygonal nut back onto the connector
The procedure is the same on the UFS too. O-ring #5 in diagram is no longer used.

Thanks for all the help guys. I actually figured it out -- ended up using a rubber jar gripper/opener on the delrin piece.

You can put all things together without having to remove the plastic loft

Hey Imeo;

I pulled the center pin out on accident and when trying to push it back through - it pops the o-rings out. I was able to get it to break free though using a rubber bottle opener and it didn't damage the threads on the delrin stop

Thats ok too buddy

Slowly but surely I am getting the hang of this. Really liking it so far, and the adjustable air control is probably the sole winning thing for me.
