THE RIGHT WAY! Repacking Your Airless Spraygun

What happens here

First, the new needle assembly is inserted back into the gun body. The new rod is pushed into place until it 'pops' and seats properly, ensuring it extends slightly from the end. Next, the handle is placed over the needle assembly. After that, the spring and its stopper are reinserted into the rear section. Finally, the rear body of the gun is screwed back on and tightened with a 5/8 inch wrench until snug. A pro tip is shared to ensure the handle is on before threading in the rear part, to avoid redoing work.

Goal: Reinsert the new needle assembly, attach the gun handle, and secure the rear body with the spring.

Tools and materials

  • 5/8 inch Wrench — To tighten the rear body securely
  • Cleaned Spray Gun Body — The main body of the gun for reassembly
  • Gun Handle — The main handle of the spray gun
  • New Needle Assembly — The newly identified needle components for installation
  • Spring and Stopper — Internal spring mechanism, reused from old gun or new from kit

one a new one and stick the filter in there so I got the gun I like to put it back together with the handle so I can hold on to the thing the first thing you're gonna do is just stick your needle assembly back in and it kind of just fits you look through there it fits right down inside there it's gonna pop through and it's gonna stick through the inside that I've gone about it's about a sixteenth of an inch you'll see it stick through and you're gonna have to push a little bit make a little compression push it on it and you'll feel it like and they're like pop and see on there you don't want to do it on a hard surface anything that could possibly scratch that needle or you're gonna damage your packing so I've got a nice classic table right here I've got a rag and I'm just gonna push it down slightly and I just felt it pop right in place and now there that's the needle assemblies back in there and then you begin doing the next step and we'll take and run the pin right through just pop it right through you can look through to make sure that it's all lined up I can see the hole is lined up right there I'll just pop it through I'm gonna screw these things together and that's where you're gonna be using your core ranch and then you can use in the past I've actually used just Crescent wrenches to do this but these are so tiny it makes it easier if you have the actual size wrenches screws together I think this entire process I can do a gun you'll clean an entire gun and about if it's real dirty the whole cleaning process are you packing and everything I can do a gun in about an hour so you're gonna have to determine whether it's worth it to buy a new gun or repack it's I think the repacking kits are about seventy-five dollars you can typically buy a gun how much they think we've been paying for them in the past not less than that yeah I usually can get a gun between 100 and 125 dollars depending on if you can make a sail or some sort of deal and that's gonna help save you some money like you said you just kind of get to decide what's your time worth and the the hassle of potentially having to deal with it I want to take John's have some TSL I typically will Lou lubricate all my threads before I start assembling everything lubricate them that way there's any paint residue or anything that's going to cause them to stick the TSL will keep it lubricated keep anything from drying and sticking so I'm gonna put that back together we'll take you to put our spring back in…
