So I just picked up an old led for very cheap as a tinker gun. I saw a thread here earlier about someone else who was looking to buy it. $185, with a lot of ups and with a revvy and a c4 jersey. This is my first angel, so i'm not all that knowledgable. I was told it had a leak, and needed some new orings on the 14-way, but he just didnt know how to do it, but he had them.
I took apart the 14-way and WOW it was nasty in there. I cleaned everything up, and it looked pretty good, except for one of the large black orings on the outside of the noid body was not looking to good. There aren't any of these in the oring pack I was given. Then, in getting it back in, I managed to pinch another one of them, and tear it up. I looked around and found this is a common problem. Any tips for gettin it back in without doing this? Also, aparently there is supposed to be some little brass safety valve on the back right of the 14-way, hmmmm, I don't see it. I'm just gonna just take a wild guess that that is also a big part of the leak, lol.
Next, I went to charge it, because the battery was dead. Hmmm, nothing.I opened up the charger and there was a loose wire, so I'll need to bust out my soldering iron and fix that up.
Also, I still havent taken anything out of the right tube, like the ram, lpr, etc. I'm gonna guess it's pretty nasty in there, and I like to have my guns clean. I don't have the tool kit, and i'm definently not gonna drop 40 bucks on it, so any ways you guys know to ghetto rig something up to get em out?
One more question. Is it really worth picking up some sort of a more grease like lube, like dow 33 or 55, instead of the good old gold cup I've always used, especially on the noid?
So basically, I just need to get a few of those orings, and I need to pick up the little brass piece in the back of the noid. I'm looking at the angel spare parts kit on pbgear:

Might those big orings and the little brass piece be what I'm looking for? Otherwise, if anyone happens to have some spares they could sell me, that would be great. Thanks a lot.
