| Page one procedure did not work? Then try this. |
Remove the entire chamber. |

Photo shows knob removed. |
The outer portion which contained a piston has been
removed and now the chamber is open. You should be able to see a small amount
of fluid if you look down into the chamber. I am not sure what the fluid
is, so be careful, avoid eyes, do not breath etc. Wash hands. |

The
open chamber is to the left. Use your thumb as a piston and try to force
a small amount of fluid out of the orifice that was exposed when you removed
the small cover with the rubber plug. You may run out of fluid which I did,
I replaced the fluid with alcohol. Fill the chamber about one forth full.
Alcohol is probably the wrong stuff but it worked. I do not know what the
original fluid was that was in the chamber, I tried light oil etc. but it
did not work. BE CAREFUL with the original fluid treat it with Caution.
