TOOL DISASSEMBLY

1.  Unscrew and remove the barrel  

retention collar. Handle the tool  
carefully after the collar is  
unscrewed to prevent the two  
barrel pawls from falling out. 

2.  Remove the two pawls from the slots 

on either side of the tool housing. 

3.  Slide the barrel assembly and the barrel 

spring out of the tool body. Note the 
position of the slots on the sides of the 
barrel since the tip ends of the pawls are 
inserted into the barrel slots through the 
tool housing in re-assembly. 

4.  Unscrew the muzzle bushing assembly 

from the barrel. If this is difficult to do  
by hand, grasp the barrel and use a 
wrench on the flats of the muzzle  
bushing assembly to loosen it for  
complete removal. 

5.  Remove the piston from the barrel.
