If gun is a 15 ft (4.5 m) model,
push the split end of liner
through until the opposite end
is sticking out of the gun con-
nector 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5
cm). After trimming, the section
with the split on it can be saved
to use as another replacement
liner.
May be easier to replace the
collet nut with the liner conduit
removed from the gun housing
block.
