If you want to lube the ram, you are going to have to disassemble the entire marker, I am not all the good at giving directions so some of the stuff I tell you to do might sound weird.

1.) Remove Tray

2.) [1]Unscrew the two large hex-screws that hold the ASA block to the body. [2]carefully remove ASA block, make sure not to drop or lose any of the small parts.

3.) [1] Unscrew the two hex-screws on the side of the marker. [2]Remove the Ram Assembly from the main body.

After following that procedure, put a little white lithium grease on the ram rod, the thing the Hammers is on, but you probably already know that. While you have the marker disassembled, lube the O-rings, and LPR parts that are exposed. Then to reassemble, just reverse the steps above and you are done. This does not have to be done often unless you play in areas where alot of dirt gets inside the marker, like the breach and what not. But on average you only have to do this maybe once or twice a year, well for me at least.

I have the new 2K3 ram assembly with the screw-on cap. If I unscrew the cap and push the bolt forward, can I just put a bit of lube in there?

I am used to my old ram assembly, that was replaced with all the other 02 parts I had on it before I sent it for some repairs, so I don't know. Try your way and come back to me with your findings, if there is a now an easier way to disassembly it, I sure as hell want to know.

Heres a little trick i found out. to hold the ram open while you can do stuff like clean and lube the ram shaft.

WORK FOR NEW STYLE [BKO] RAMS ONLY!!

Take a piece of macroline and stick it in the ram cap part of the ram till its fully extended. Measure and cut it out so that its sticking out of the end of the ram. Stick it in and screw the ram cap back on. Screw it tight and the ram will stay open and you can clean and lube the ram to your own liking. You can also polish it a bit while its like that. Nomore constant pulling at the ram to keep it open to slab some grease on it. You can now take your time and get a nice even coat on it.

Since we're on the topic of rams....

How do you know when there's too much pressure on the gasket between the ram and the solenoid?

when the gasket gets destroyed.... Otherwise just torque it as best you can and if it doesnt move then your good. Just dont strip your screw.

Haha... it's not destroyed. But it does seem to bulge just the slightest bit where i can see it. I didn't know if because it was compressing and bulging it would be restricting airflow.
