Chris the Idaho Painter. In this video, we're going to show you how we take a Graco Contractor 2 gun, disassemble it, take the packings out, clean it, and put it back together. And in this task, you're just going to need a couple items. You're going to need a 5/8 inch wrench. I use a just an old toothbrush to do the cleaning. I use just Q-tips to get inside and clean the inside of the gun. Also got some lacquer thinner that I actually put into a cup to actually clean my parts with. And then I've got a very small tiny flathead screwdriver like for a pair of eyeglasses that I actually use to remove the O-rings. And then I've got some WD40 that when I'm putting the gun back together, I like to lube the gun. And I also actually have some O-ring lube that I like to put back on the O-rings when I put the gun back together. And I'm done with my 5/8 inch wrench. And going to get ready to take
