FE-AR LA PEPPINA
removing the piston
To remove and replace the piston, is need to compress the piston spring until reaching final position to insert the handle into the hole in square shape.
The operation is not possible by hand, so we should make a stand which allows you to compress the piston
Was used a iron profile of size 40x20x15, cut and welded to form a stand as shown.
After it was brushed and painted, was made a hole 8 mm in diameter at the top where you will insert the threaded rod that will serve to compress the piston.
then place the piston under the threated rod
tighten or loosen the bottom nut to compress or loosen the spring
Once compressed the piston, the stand can be blocked on one side to insert the handle into the hole of the flexible arm of the piston
