Hey guys, I need some help.
Just bought a nozzle for my Wayne 866. Want to have it chrome plated, but not sure how to disassemble it. It is the flexible one, and I don't want to ruin it in the process.
Any help will be appreciated.
Steve

Steve:
There are hundreds of different nozzles out there. Without seeing the one you want to dissassemble . . .
That being said, most are relatively easy to do. The actual nozzle is usually only held onto the body by the nut at it's base. If you can get that nut to come loose, without damaging it beyond reuse, you're golden.
The guts of the body (internal trigger mech.) are held in by the large nut on the top of the body. Again, try no to overly damage the nut during removal. And don't let the guts fall out! You will need to know the sequence that they insert inot the body to facilitate reassembly.
Some nozzles have cast handles and some have attached handles. Just look at how the unit is built and go from there. There is usualy a knurled 'nut' with a pin sticking out that engages with the handle as you squeeze it to pump the gas. Simply unscrew the knurled nut and you should be able to remove the trigger pin assembly.
Clean up all the internals prior to reassembly - and remember, the chrome process may change some of your tolerances.
I hope this helps.
Later . . .
Jim

A "toothless" vise helps to hold nozzle with out damage.
The flex spouts sometimes did not have a nut,
Heat and penetrating oil...just don't overheat.
Try a band wrench on the spout...or make a leather band wrench.

I have probably 100 breakdowns of nozzles. Just let me know what nozzle you have and I'll let you what info I have. They will be all be on my new website, coming soon.

Thanks for the help.
The real problem I saw was that there is no nut holding the spout on, at least not a nut I could get a wrench on. It looks like a round sleeve or nut.
Jack, I't's a Wayne nozzle. There is a number cast in the side; I'll check that out and get back to you.
Thanks again.
Steve
