HVLP Gun Repair Tip. Repacking A Maxum Spray Gun.
What happens here
Start by removing the needle from the back of the gun. Unscrew the back nut that secures the needle and packing. The demonstrator shows using a pick to push the old packing through the mechanism, and then using a needle-like pick to reach in, grab, and pull out the old packing. In the example, the old Teflon packing had unwound into a tape-like string due to wear, emphasizing the need for replacement.
Goal: Disassemble the sprayer by removing the needle and the back nut, then use specialty picks to carefully extract the worn Teflon packing. Note that the packing may appear as unwound Teflon tape if severely damaged.
