What happens here

With the back handle removed, use a crescent wrench to unscrew the front diffuser from the main body of the paint sprayer. Once loosened, it should thread off easily by hand. After removing the diffuser, two small parts will become visible: the needle seat and a tiny nylon washer. Set these aside. Now, the needle assembly is exposed from both the front and back. Place the gun on a stable surface, use a punch or a similar tool against the back of the needle, and gently tap it with a hammer to push the entire needle assembly out through the front of the gun.

Goal: Unscrew the front diffuser of the gun to access the needle assembly. Once the diffuser is removed, use a hammer and a suitable punch to gently tap out the needle assembly from the gun's body.
