    Hi all, has anyone ever replaced the diaphragm in an air pressure regulator on the optimax? I'm trying to replace a ruptured one but there's a heavy spring that's creating some problems. I can't get to insert the four small bolts because of the tension on the spring, what should I try? Thanks

    I'm not seeing that kind of info anywhere, maybe that procedure is elementary, hence it's not documented. I can probably use a clamp or small spring compressor but there are two very small holes in the housing and I am not certain of the way those should be positioned.
