Steyr O-Ring Replacement

daved · Post by **daved** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:55 pm

My trusty Steyr LP-1 has sprung a leak between the "Steyr" and "Air" lettering on the cylinder fitting. Has anyone had experience with replacing the O-ring/seals in that area? Specifically I need to know whether this is something I could do myself or whether it required someone with specialized knowledge and tools.

Thanks for any assistance--

Dave

There is a Steyr video that shows you how to change a CO2 version to compressed air. Hope this helps...

Kevin,
thanks for that link! I saw that Steyr uploaded many helpful videos which are well worth watching.

Concerning the original post, there is also a short video on replacing the O-rings

Kevin - thanks for the link, it was quite helpful. Unfortunately, the air leak is from the round two-piece part they call "the fitting", which is probably some sort of pressure regulator. Air leaks from between the two pieces which are held together by two additional screws marked with red paint (?? "Stop, do not remove" ??) that are not mentioned in the video. I'm reluctant to dissasemble this part without some idea of what I'm going to encounter. In reality, though, the only downside in doing so would be that I might have to send the gun in pieces to a competent pistolsmith!!

If you send to the dealer the entire two-piece, they obviously replace it for free. Just unscrew the other screw without red paint, you remove the parts from the pistol.

FYI RESPONDERS:

I talked to Buck at Pilkguns - apparently the options are to have them rebuild the regulator (two-part piece secured with red screws) or replace it with a rebuilt one. He (as well as another member) confirmed my suspicion that the red marking is meant as a warning - apparently special skill and tools are required to disassemble/reassemble the regulator.

Thanks for the responses - good shooting!!!
