    That's very good of you mate thank you. I could just borrow it and post it back to you when I've finished. Not sure how to replace a crystal though, is it hard work ?

    can I be honest have never tried to do one in the sense of this did have an old pop out pop a new one in but they was not pressure seal so to speak they snapped in .. where with that one as design to be under pressure you would need to use a tool on it so ..will post it out sat or Monday mate am sure there are a load of videos on utube on how to replace the crystal

    I wonder if Sharky knows how it fits in ? It's the compressor that he put together.

    yeah maybe but would think came as a completely case .. the basic is the tool widens the case or shrinks the crystal and then as you unscrew the tool it then tightens in to the case

    it seems you clamp it to the out side of the crystal and then as you tighten the tool is squeezes the crystal making it easier to remove
