Hi everyone,

I'm planning to increase the power on the regulator of my PP750, but I've run into an issue while trying to disassemble the cylinder. After removing the cylinder from the pistol, I can't unscrew the metal cap. The cap is round and has four small holes that I assume are meant for a special tool to open it.

Unfortunately, I don’t have that tool. Does anyone have advice on how to make or improvise a suitable tool, or know an alternative way to unscrew the cap without damaging it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Firewalker probably has you situated but I’ll just mention a few options. On occasion I’ve made a simple tool from a scrap of wood with holes drilled at the proper spacing to accept nails or drill bits.

Or check your local tool stores for a set of snap ring pliers. For example

Or sometimes you can get away with something as simple as small needle nose pliers
