The Guide: A Complete Teardown of a WGP Autococker
This thread is to help you in the process of tearing your WGP Autococker down completely. I will take you step by step.
NOTE: This tear down was done on a Mechanical Worr Games 2003 Vertical Feed Autococker, for newer and later versions, there may be some variations.
You may have also noticed I have Teflon tape on the threads where my 3-way and ram attach to the front block. This is in no way needed; I just do it because it cuts down on the wobble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, what you need...
Gun oil
7/16 wrench
Valve Tool (not pictured)
Allen keys: (It is good to get a set like the one pictured)
3/16
5/32
1/8
1/16
Teflon tape
Alright, the first step is to remove the hosing off of the 3-way (make sure you draw yourself a diagram so you know where the hoses go back)
Taking off the pneumatic hose can be pretty tricky if you still have the stock top hats. The way I found it to be most easy is to get some needle nose pliers and clamp then down right above where the top hat is inside the hose and pull.
Getting them on requires the needle nose pliers too, what I do is grab the hoses with the pliers so there is just enough room for the top hat to fit inside the hose. Then push the hose down onto the top hat with the pliers.
I just leave the hoses attached to the ram ends and LPR for sake of simplicity, but if you would like to take the hoses completely off, be my guest.
Then begin to unscrew the LPR counter clock wise with the 7/16 wrench until it is unscrewed.
Then remove the cocking rod turning the rod counter clock wise, this may take some force, just remember not to use a wrench on the end of the rod, put a cloth around the rod itself and use pliers to twist the rod:
After removing the cocking rod, you need to remove the bolt, pull the pin out, and pull the bolt out of the body:
Now that we have the bolt removed, we need to take the backblock off the pump arm, by unscrewing it counter clock wise:
Now, using the 7/16 wrench, unscrew the ram from the front block turning counter clock wise. I left the pump are on the ram piston because I have found it quite a pain in the butt to remove and attach. But if you want to take them apart, its fine, you will need a vise and most likely some pliers.
