Product Description

?

This genuine manufacturer sourced replacement piston stop is specially produced for Porter Cable nailers. This part acts as a cushion when the driver retracts back into the cylinder after being fired. Because this part gets so much abuse, over time it will break apart. Please note, this plastic piston stop is sold individually. To complete this repair you will need a hex key/allen wrench. • Remove the end cap • Remove the old stopper • Secure the new stopper • Reassemble and test the nailer

Remove the top of the nail gun, and found that the piston stop was broken. I made sure that I was able to find all of the broken pieces and clean out the inside of the gun. I then replaced the broken piston stop and oiled the internal parts, then replaced the top cap of the nail gun. And now it works like it was new again.

Removed the top of the nailer. The piston stop is located in the top cap. Replaced the piston top and screwed the top back on with an allen wrench. Used the EReplacement diagram on line for the correct order to replace the parts. The new piston stop looked slightly different from the original version but worked just fine after installatio n.
