There's a bearing inside the handle assembly section as well. I left my parts soak in Amsoil small engine oil and I used Amsoil air tool oil on reassembly. I used thumb pressure to press grease into the bearings (I hope). I needed to review the order of assembly so I pulled up a parts assembly diagram off the internet. My unit has been worked almost to death, sat on a shelf for a few years and the mud dobbers built a home in the air connector. It appeared to have been visiously disassembled by an individual with a ball peen hammer and a drift at one time or another. One of the bearings spins a little on the rough side so I don't plan on any longevity from the tool but if it gets me through one project it will have once again paid for itself. It was picked up at a farm auction decades ago.The mylar gasket disintegrated during disassembly so I manufactured a new gasket from cork. I figure when the gasket is trapped between the two metal surfaces all it will need to do is stay compressed to prevent air leakage. I expect the most pressure to hit it will be around 60 psi at the most. I'm not going to sweat it.
Thanks for this! Made disassembly so much easier. My sander had the plastic valve body on the inside end of the valve pintle completely disintegrated as well as the foam insert (muffler I guess) Any idea where one can get parts???????
No I dont. My thoughts are that because mine is a cheap one, if I can get it fixed without buying anything then its worth opening up. If I have to get parts then just buy a new one.
The piece with the inside bearing, "the internal components" will not come out for me. Looks like yours came out so easily. I have tried everything and even chipped a piece of the internal components housing. Am I missing something? Yours is the only video with an actual teardown, so thank you!!
Hmm, I dont know. Yes mine came out easily and I cant think of anything that would hold it there. Of course its been a while since I did the video so I may have forgotten. Hope you figure it out!
Appreciate your instruction

Thanks for mentioning the O rings on that air adjustment shaft. That’s where my air is leaking. Hoping to hear your tool hum. How does it run?

More videos please!
You didn't even show it working
Great work!
