Really an easy job but you do have to remove the ram. Carbonator and break cleaners are your friend when you get it apart. Get a long handle scrub brush .Dollar store toilet cleaner brush works well . When done coat the inside with 30 weight motor oil and do the same for the ram and contact points . Reassemble and you will be shocked at the little bit of effort to work your press. The restriction grows so slow you don't notice it till it is a problem. when cleaned and lubed you will have a new press again. J.Michael
