Piston shaft not central to piston

[mrgeoff]

Hi, stripping an old HW55, and I have found the piston shaft up the centre of the piston is at quite an angle to one side.

Any ideas how I should get this central again?

Looks like it was dragging up the spring guide and into the trigger block!



Thanks.

Digital manipulation should sort it.

i.e. hit it?

Just use your hands to get it into the right position. Rolling it on a flat surface should help tell if its right

I ended up giving a tap with a small rubber faced mallet which got it close, then tweek by hand to get spot on.


Thanks.
