Things to do before you sit down. Get yourself:
*A towel
*Some allen wrenches
*Some lubricant (o-ring safe)
*Flathead screwdriver
Now that we have that, clear off a work space in a comfortable, well lit area. Set the towel down first, and lay everything on top of that. This way, screws/bolts won't roll as easily, and everything stays nice and clean.
With that said, take off the barrel, hopper, and tank. Place those off to the side, they are not needed, obviously.
Next, take out all of the pull-pins (there are 4) and place them somewhere safe. After that is done, you can take off the trigger frame. Take that off in addition to unscrewing any regulator/expansion chamber/vertical adapter/or standard air fitting you might have running into the body of the A5. Place those to the side as well. You will not need to mess with the grip frame during disassembly. Any trigger modifications can be done simply by removing the two related pull pins and handling it seperatly. You should have also removed the back plate/drive spring/oring by now, because if you haven't they will shoot out and you will loose them.
So to recap: pull pins out, back plate/spring/oring out, grip frame and air connections off.
Got that done? Good.
Not you can remove the Cyclone feed and the front grip. The cyclone feed is removed by undoing the hose running in (detaching from A5 body or cyclone itself with flathead screwdriver) and then removing the bolt (it takes a larger allen wrench then the rest) that goes through the body accross from the feeder. The front grip can be removed by using an allen wrench. You simply need to put the wrench into the grip longways, situate it in the bolt, and loosen. Place those off to the side as well.
Now you are able to undo the rest of the bolts and open up the A5. As soon as you take off the top receiver, you will need to do a few things.
First: look at where everything goes. It will be kind of difficult to reassemble it if you aren't paying attention
Second: take out the ball detent (orange rubber thing). It will come out easily
Third: also take the tension off of the spring attached to the front cocking mechanism. It can fly off very easily.
Fourth if you remove the valve/power tube/vertical adapter for ANY reason, note the spring that is applying pressure on the vertical adapter. You will NEED to make sure it is situated in the same fashion upon reassembly.
At this point, you are free to do anything inside of the marker. Polish the internals, install new things, or lubricate and clean the marker.
No matter what you are doing, apply more lubrication upon completion.
When reinstalling, make sure that all sights, springs, and ball detents are seated properly, while making sure that you do NOT force the receiver closed.
Happy paintballing
