Hi
I picked up a used discovery knowing it had a air leak at the gauge port. When pumping it up all the air hisses right out of it.
I took the air gauge off and the o ring is good so it has to be the gauge assembly o rings.
My questions are these.
Can i take the gauge port out the front of the air tube? Or do i have to take it out the rear after breaking the gun down?
Any videos out there to help me along?
Thanks in advance
 
Did you check the gauge itself? A few wraps of teflon tape will stop leaks there. Degas and remove gauge block out the front of the air tube...less sharp holes for the orings to drag against.

Being used I'd replace all orings anyway since you're gonna break it down.

This is the only video I've found that shows most of the breakdown.

First off. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
Had both gauge port o rings that were bad.
Decided to change all the seals while i was at it.
Got me to learn a little more about the gun as i went along.
Just finished her up.
Pumped her up and she is taking and holding air.
Will check her in the morning for any slow leaks.
Once again thanks to all!
