Hey guys, my CM16 sounded like a box of spanners last outing and it was suggested it was the piston.

 

I want to replace this myself as It has been mentioned its a fairly straightforward and I dont really want to put anymore money into it by taking it to a shop.

 

My question is: Does anyone know what I need to buy before I take it apart? a quick google finds multiple parts and guides but nothing concrete. and as with everything else in the sport I get confused by all the choices ;)

 

Obviously I could strip it and work it out but I have no work space at home and dont particularly want to leave it in pieces on the kitchen table while I wait for bits to arrive as the mrs or kids are likely to move something... I would ideally like to open it up only once to keep things easier :)

You won't know exactly what to buy until your take the GB apart.

 

What you need to do is take apart the gearbox and have a look at what needs replacing.

 

The alternative would be to order an array of parts and then just open it up and replace what ever needs replacing.
