Sometimes the ball is stuck
in the bottom and won't fall out on it's own. Here is where that clean
rag comes in to save your ass. Cup the entire cast in the rag as shown
with only the inlet showing (as shown below in both images).
With your thumb firmly holding
the rag over the valve bore and ball use some compresse air to push the
ball into the rag.
KEEP THE RAG FRIMLY PRESSED
AGAINST THE CASTING! The rag should allow enough air to pass but not the
ball. If that puppy goes flying it's the game over thing again and time
to go kick the garage door. |
