take a wooden dowel rod and place it down the power tube (make sure the velocity screw is removed. Place the other end of the dowel in your left hand and the power-tube/valve assembly in your right. Gently, but with some force, bring the whole assembly down on the exposed end of the dowel, thus driving the valve out the back end of the power-tube. Voila!

Make sure you use wood and not metal dowels as the metal can damage the valve or seals.

quick question for you karalem, as I am going to order a cyclone this week.

Did you get that one with the x7 hopper you had linked to in the other thread? What was the total tab, out the door and shipped? Did you get off of that Ebay store?

One last question..I take it from the info above, it DOES come with a new Power Tube? That would be good for me, b/c I have one a backup gun that is busted.

Thanks for any help...I'm about 2 weeks behind you on this project/
