There are directions that come with it. Its easy to install if you know how to take apart the gun. |

| I've taken apart the gun plenty of times, but do you have to take out that part in the center of the gun that's bolt into it? |

by the looks of things the part you are talking about; the power tube, gets replaced by a new one that comes with the cyclone kit. one that has the placement for the air line for the cyclone feed. ------------- i aint as good as i once was but i'm as good once as i ever was |

Yes youll need Loctite or Teflon Tape. I suggest TT, but a lil bottle of Loctite comes with the kit. -------------

ok...
First step is take the gun apart and make sure no air is hooked to it blah blah. then you loosen the two screws on the unlabled side that hold in the power tube. Next you take the power tube and remove the hose from it. After you do that you are going to have to take out the valve in the powertube. I suggest just taking one of the allen wrenches and stick it in the small tube of the power tube to push it out. Then just take the valve that popped out and put it in the new one that comes with the kit. Next you are going to need some teflon tape or loctite..(the kit doesn't come with any..atleast mine didn't) Then put some on the hose you removed and screw it on the new powertube. once that is put on...remove the screw on the power tube that blocks the air way of where your gas line for the cyclone will connect. It won't fit in the hole with the screw in. Then put the powertube in place and put the gun back together. Once that is done...all you have to do is hook the feed in place of where the old one latched in. Take this plastic screw and with the little hose line you put it through and screw it in. And make sure its not too tight or you could strip the screw. Also you may have to turn the black tube that comes out of the feed to make the hose reach. And you don't put on any loctite or telfon tape on this screw...ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...keep the little screw that came with it...you never know if something goes wrong with the cyclone..so all you have to do is remove the cyclone system and screw in the screw to stop the air feed and then if you want to play you just switch back the the original feed until you fix the cyclone...if it does ever mess up Then make sure it works...screw on the CO2 tank dry fire it to make sure it turns, and also listen and feel for any leaks...then put some paintballs in the hopper and have at it!!! Im very excited that i have one now. Now i have to wait 2 more weeks to go and try it out..I can't wait ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |
