I removed gun head and saw the problem. Removed piston with a 90 degree pic through center of piston. I then prepped new piston by installing new o-ring, piston spring, and lube. I then pressed piston assembly into gun head, installed gun head with four screws. Test fired worked perfect.

Remove the top cap of the piston head. Four allen head cap screws. Plastic piston head valve comes right out. I reused the two o-rings as they were fine. Just cleaned and lubed them. Reinstalled the new piston head in the same fashion as the old one came out. Re install the top aluminum cap with the four allen screws and tested.

I disassembled the Gun and found the problem pretty quickly. Ordered the parts I need for the repair. I reassembled it the same way I took it apart making sure every thing was in it right place. Tested the gun, it fired great, the way it always did. Make sure all the o-rings are seated properly and are well lubricated and torque the screw s properly.

Remove the top of nailer. Replace the disintegrated head valve. Reassemble the nailer.
At the above is how it should have gone. However, in trying to discover the problem I completely disassembled the nailer. It was something like doing a hundred piece jigsaw puzzle to get it back together. Look when I finished the nailer works like new.
