Published 2014-06-20
This video explains how to install an O-Ring Rebuild Kit on a pneumatic nail gun. (Air nailer) Symptoms are explained and typically these are fixed by installing a Rebuild Kit to make the unit like new again!

    Thank you very much, just replaced my nailer! The problem I had before was inserting the seals in wrong order, I originally just bought the seals on Amazon for about $10 bucks and thought I had the order correctly because the included diagram just shows seals stacked on top of each other as opposed to going around the plastic parts. Your video showed how they went but most importantly was that the upper body head valve has a seal around it and lip facing out. The diagram is not clear about that. I have the RN46-1 (plastic cylinder) but its the same process. Almost gave up on a $25 pawn shop clearance that is now not leaking air anymore!

    Back in the early 80's I was a small engine mechanic for a large hardware and building supply business. On average I would repair or rebuild 4-6 nail guns a day, (kept the contract crews going). Your the 1st I seen know use a specific grease for the o-rings. I used parker lube (o-ring lube), good stuff. Never use oil, its also detrimental. Ive been an industrial hydraulics tech for 20 yrs now. Build machinary for the offshore oil an gas industry.

    Thanks for the videos!!! Where is the best place to purchase rebuild kits/parts for Bostitch and Senco nail guns?
  • I just looked on your website. Didn't see anything for nailer rebuild parts.

    Black Rubber guide on driver blade was installed wrong. It has to be below the bumper.
  • the bumper goes on the driver shaft, then the split retainer clip😊
  • @SpartaNavy1
    Should the bumper and piston stop be lubed as well? I reassembled the rn46-1 and now it leaks exhaust. Everything else great.

    I had been sitting on my o-ring kit for 3 or 4 weeks now and I still havnt used it . I had a issue where it would on shot and leak air through the exhaust. on-site I would simply turn the gun over and bang the component back down. today she just wasn't having it . so I got my hex bits and ring kit all ready on my kitchen table and get into the discovery . so much gunk built up in there and was inhibiting the exhaust rings in the head manifold (black cap) .clean all that stuff out rinsed and toothbrush scrubbed ( my wife sure isn't happy about the bathtub) and let it dry out . decided not to pay attention and right away I was confused as to what went were lol . opened my o-ring kit and got the diagram . put it all back together , tucked it back in the bucket , placed it by the door . go back to the kitchen and start cleaning to find 1 O-RING ...... !!! I'm not Havin cheerios for breakfast tomorrow morning anymore my friends . 2 scoops of o-rings.....shieeet partner

  • @SANTAMUERTEXIII
    I have a bostitch coil nailer and it won't shoot the nails with my compressor I have a Hitachi and a senco coil nailers and those work fine on my compressor but not the bostitch I press the trigger and it has air but it doesn't shoot the nails I already took it to a repair shop 3 times and they tell me nothing is wrong with the gun and they test it and it shoots perfect but not on my compressor or on my friends compressor, I don't get before it used to work fine
