Second, you’re going to want to remove the tappet plate and cylinder unit from the mechbox. On the underside of the tappet plate is a small spring that is connected to a nub on the mechbox shell. Very carefully, take this spring out with a thin screwdriver or something of that nature, and do not lose it! Set the tappet plate aside along with the nozzle, cylinder, and the tappet plate spring for later.

If you so please, you can also grease the guide rails on the inside of the mechbox where the piston slides back and forth, and also on the outside of the cylinder head’s nozzle, but do not go crazy with the grease. Like alcohol, grease in the mechbox should be used in moderation. Using too much grease will cause more parts to stick together, notably the piston head o-ring. Also, do not use it on parts that obviously don’t need it! This includes the trigger assembly, and spring guide, the selector plate; they do not need the grease! Remember, any dirt, grime, sand, and other foreign material that finds its way into the mechbox will be attracted by the grease, so you want to have just enough to smooth movement between the parts, but not so much that it acts as a debris magnet.
