i want to install an eclipse valve onto my ecocker but the details on the instructions arent too clear..

so far i already used the valve screw to remove the retaining nut, what next?

thanks

You need a valve tool to get the valve out - it's basically a long straight hex key with a hole drilled into one end so that it can go over the valve stem. If you don't have one then give your local paintball shop a ring and see if they can help.

Valve tools

I know that a cocker valve tool is included in at least one of the WGP cocker spares kits.

Failing that Belsales or Planet will have them for sale separately i am sure.

Thanks,

Nick.

Right remove the grip frame and on the underside of the body you will see a grub screw, remove this and the valve should be free to drop out. If it don't use an allen key to GENTLY prise out the valve (once you start to move it it will drop out of the body.
To replace the new valve place the banjo nut on the valve tool (put a dab of locktight on it first) followed by the valve, cup seal and spring insert the lot in to the body and wind down ensuring that the valve is facing the right way. Before you completly tighten the banjo nut replace the grub screw to the underside of the body then make sure you tighten every thing up as much as possible. replace the grip frame and gas it up

i removed teh screw from the bottom of the body and i tried to use the allen key to push out the valve but it seems to be stuck in there.. any more on ideas?

All you can do is prise it out its only the o-rings keeping it in there and possibly a bit of threadlock from were the banjo nut was installed. If your replacing the valve it won't matter about damaging the o-rings anyway, just make sure its the o-rings you muller and not the cocker body

i called worr and they also said its just the orings holding it in but i still cant get it out.. they said i can stick something where the nut was (on bottom of body) to push it out but allen key wrenches arent working.. any more ideas on what i can use?

im trying to replace the valve

Take off your front block and push something long and thin into the hole where the front block screw goes. Push hard enough, and the valve will come out. I've done that with a couple stuck valves on my various cockers. I use this long metal rod that I found in my garage, you should be able to find something that'll work. Needs to be something thin enough to fit through the hole, long enough to reach the valve, and hard enough not to bend.

Or....bung some oil in around the valve and use soemthing long to push it in and out against the spring to get it moving...then carefuly prise it out with an allen key...or do what he said if all els fails...
