Repair was pretty straight forward. Remove the 4 screws from the top of the gun, then remove the plastic or aluminum cylinder sleeve in order to slide out piston/driver assembly. The driver blade is secured to the piston with two steel roll pins. Drive out the inner roll pin first, then the second larger one. You need a couple of the correct size punches for driving out each roll pin. After removing the two pins, pull out the old driver blade and insert the new one. Drive in the large roll pin and then the smaller one. I misaligned the roll pins 180 degrees. It might be easier with two people. One to hold the small piston, and the second person to drive out the roll pins.
I put a tiny film of lithium grease on the O-ring that's on the cylinder before inserting it back into the tool housing. Replace the piston/driver assembly into the cylinder and reassemble the gun in the order you took it apart. Don't over tighten the 4 screws when you put the top back on the gun.
Relatively easy fix if you are mechanically inclined and pay attention to the order of things when you took the gun apart.
If you see scoring in the cylinder or the piston has obvious damage, replace those to items also.
