So, one of new guys has a 1500, but it's not holding air at all. Upon further investigation, it seems the front of the pump that the has the release valve snapped off and is now stuck in the gun. The pump can be replaced, but how do you think I can get it out. This one kinda dumbfounded me.

hey the same thing happened with one of my sm 1500. All i did was stick some hot glue onto the end that i had left and quickly put it down into the pump. After it dried i pulled both pieces out.

Same thing happened with one of my SM1500's. At first, I tried the first thing that came naturally. I carefully placed my lips upon the tip of the pump and started sucking.

Even though I gave it my best effort, that wouldn't work. What eventually worked was using a long screwdriver (I think that's what it was) and driving a screw into the end of the plunger shaft. That made it easy to pull out, without worrying about if the sticky hot glue would hold, like MAC did.

This just recently happened to my at2k. Lucky for me the little end part was right where I could pull it out. It seems this metal bar thing broke that was holding it together, so I'm just going to hot glue it or epoxy it back together.

Maybe Industrial Strength Tweezers?

Or take a long rod of some sort, tip it with hot glue, and jam it down there. If that doesn't work try crazy glue at your own expense.

same thing has happened to me too. just take the base of the tube and make a flinging motion that should work.

I actually fixed the gun...it's fine. Hot glue works wonders.
