Using my vastly superior, genetically engineered, intellect(& Levi's pictures);I placed the 1st o-ring in then the puncture plate then the 2nd o-ring ,followed by the spacer, and guide. Then discovered the reason this is not a recommended DIY fix. That little clip that holds the whole thing together is a pain to get back in. With "Faith, hope and skill" I prevailed. Now the acid test,new 12ie and behold!!! no leaks ! shot great and my Sydarm is no longer a pretty wall hanger. I'm still getting a re-build kit. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Levi's help was worth a thousand bucks. A shining example of Mag people helping out Mag people. We should have a "feedback" type section just to sing the praises of invaluable assistance. I'm sure there are others out there that have been enlightened by good advice and tech info.
