Dumb question but I've never had to do this on my marker before. How do I get the pump arm off? It doesn't seem to want to separate from the arm part of the ram. Not to mention, I don't want to scratch the body. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Tipicaly the are just unscrews form the back block and the ram. as for not scratching your gun in the proces two words be careful.
Question why do you want to take the pump rod off?
The best recomendation that I can give you is be very careful cockers aren't that hard to work on. BUT before you tear a new gun down that you have no experiance with it would be good to find someone in your area that would be able to help you if somthing does go wrong with it. Theres only so much that we can do to help over the computer.
The learning curve is pretty steep on cockers but once you get the hang of them you can tec them in the dark if need be
Yeah, if you take out the bolt, you can just spin the back block until it unscrews from the arm. The you unscrew it from the ram. But I'm with jdawg on this one, why do you need to?
Thanks for the info folks.
I'm not a cocker newbie. Its just the only part on the gun that I've never messed with so I figured I should ask around before I did something stupid. The problem is that I can't seem to get the arm to detach from the ram. I wasn't applying the plyers too tight cause I didn't want to damage anything. I know a little too well how steep the learning curve is.....had a lotta fun with the front reg a while back......
The reason I'm changing it is cosmetic. Gotta make it look good ya know....
I'll just give it some more elbow grease
I know how you feel. After the first time I played I got rid of the frong reg, three-way, and ram to put on blue KAPP pieces. I soomehow managed to get it all back together though... Have fun man!
Hmmmm, that would explain why it didn't want to come off. How would you suggest that I heat it? Like, take a lighter to the arm or what? Please let me know.....
Umm...check to see if there's a set screw right near where it joins the ram. About half the time there is one, and you must unscrew it using a standard allen wrench. I've had that happen to me a couple of times before figuring it out.
