Disassemble plastic housing around compressor unit using appropriate tools. Remove the four bolts from the compressor head using a 5/16 nut driver. Carefully remove head assembly including airline. Remove bolt through rod bearing with Allen wrench.
Reassemble with new rod and piston assembly. Best to use blue locktite on bolt through rod bearing when reassembling. Make sure to torque all bolts to specs listed.
Actually don't like using Torx bits because they are hard to center deep in the channel. I had misplaced these forcing me to order replacements. My plan is to insert Torx bits before screwing in and using jb weld to secure the bit to the screw, giving me a hex head. Can't find this special screw with a hex head. This screw is called AGC-408 by craftsman.
