Re-assembly is a little tricky, nothing too tough if you take your time.
First thing will be the internal gas retainer. Put the o-ring back on the retainer. Lube it with a Air-soft/Rubber safe oil. ( I used P-Force Silicone oil.)

Next insert the spring in the body first, then the retainer. It will get stuck, you will need to take a punch or Allen wrench and something to tap them with.
Place body on the table, hold firmly then tap the retainer into the body. It will pop through the hole.
It will look something like this...

Re-install o-ring on the brass retainer, lube it also...
![]()
Be sure to spray oil inside body onto the gas retainer before you screw in the brass piece in...
![]()
Tighten it down all the way until it stops. Be gentle the brass is very soft!
![]()
Doing this will again seize up the internal gas retainer. Take a punch and push it down until it breaks free. Spray more oil on it, push it up and down a few times to make sure it moves freely.
There is slit on the internal gas retainer...

You will have to use a small flat head screw driver to turn the retainer so the notch of the retainer is facing the to the right hand side....

Next will be the back-plate. Re-install the o-ring, lube it yada yada...
![]()
Next place the two pieces EXACTLY like this! Make sure the lever stays in this position...
![]()
While pushing the two pieces together, make sure the lever goes inside the notch on the retainer. This is very important!
Depress the the brass plunger on the back plate, make sure the internal gas retainer moves up and down.

![]()
Install retainer screw using a Allen wrench. (Don't forget to keep a finger on the retainer, or buy buy spring...
