Nerf N-Strike Elite Retaliator Air Chamber Assembly Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

No estimate

Introduction

A worn plunging mechanism can limit your effective firing range. Nobody has time for that. Use this guide to disassemble the blaster and replace the plunger and air chamber.

Tools

Phillips #0 Screwdriver

Step 1

While holding the blaster, rotate the barrel assembly in the counter-clockwise direction and pull away from the blaster.

Step 2

Remove the stock of the blaster by pushing the orange tabs downward while pulling the stock away from the blaster.

Step 3

Remove the magazine from the blaster by forcing the sliding mechanism backwards, pushing the orange tabs downward, and pulling the magazine away.

What about a drum mag how do you remove that

Step 4

Remove the stock attachment point by removing the two 8mm Phillips head screws.

Step 5

Remove the eleven 8mm and two 10mm Phillips head screws from the left side of the blaster, and carefully remove the outer casing.
Two of the screws must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the forward position. Another two must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the back position.
There are several springs that may become displaced during this procedure. Proceed with the utmost caution.

Itd be nice if we got a pic comparing the internals to an old yellow nerf recon (if you have one). I wonder how much changes between generations.

Removed every screw and gun does not separate. not showing the seperation of the gun makes this tutorial completely useless.

You have to remove the thing you use to ready it

It would be nice if you could color-code where to put the 16mm, 10mm and 8mm screws. That way, you don’t wind up damaging the screw post or stripping a screw by trying to insert a 10mm screw into a post meant for an 8mm one.

it's very helpful that the troubleshooting for slider won't move backwards goes to "Another two must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the back position." How, just how do you do that if it's jammed

Step 6

The firing spring may be energized. If so, carefully release and spring pressure before proceeding.
While holding down the white air chamber, pull the firing spring backwards to remove it from the blaster.
