anyone? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

 

The noids are reallllly easy to do. Its looks hard but theres only 8 parts inside one.

1) the top nut
2) the coil cover
3) the coil
4) the piece that houses the plunger
5) the plunger inside
6) rubber o-ring
7) the base
8) spring under plunger

Just take off the top nut, pull the cover off with the coil in it. The you will have to unscrew the base. It has 2 holes in it. I used a punch and a hammer. Unscrew the 2 pieces, theres a rubber O-ring inside along with a little plunger and a spring behind the plunger.

Thats all. Theres nothing to it.

yeah it kinda looks like you need a spanner wrench to fit in the holes and open it

 

Thats the name of it. i just used a punch or flathead screwdriver. Go to the local speedshop, they should have one. Unless its a TNT noid. They have a different size.

Thats how I did mine.

It was for the NOS noids <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

so, when you unscrew the top nut and remove the coil and cover, you use a punch to turn the base. like put the punch in one of the shallow holes on the top of the metal base, and tap till it breaks loose, then unscrew it? cool. perhaps i could just find a new seal rather than send my sol. in for too long to get it fixed.

Thats all I did, I actually uses a flatheaded screwdriver. The only thing thats goes there is the coil sits on it.

 

i emailed NX to see what they would do, but i may just pull it apart. would a seal like that be easy to replicate at home depot or something?

The seal that you need is part of the plunger. You have to get that from NX.
