Disassembling PSI Stratus

[BigPat1953]

I need to disassemble a Stratus . Any tips or suggestions appreciated.

I guess you are referring to removing the click mechanism. Be gentle when you do it. I use a short length of heavy tubing to slide down over the plastic bit inside the tube. That way the clicker is protected and you still push on the metal portion.

Thanks! By heavy tubing, do you mean something other than brass tubes?

I had to disassemble one and as apparently you already are aware you can destroy the plastic click mechanism if you insert anything thru the brass tube to push out. I used a very thick piece of rubber hose and inserted only the top of the stratus pen, the clip and click area in the rubber and clamped this down in a vice and then used a rocking motion holding the rest of the pen in my hand to pull it apart from the clip / click section. It worked.

I'm not worried about damaging the click mechanism, as it is already damaged and beyond repair. I have new Stratus hardware to use, but I want to use the same barrel.

if mechanism is destroyed , use a puncher, Stratus is one of my favourite click kit with the Sierra and the best one is the Tempest , Best solid mechanism
