I know I'm 4 years late but this is a fantastic video. Very much appreciated. I just pulled out my airbrush and went to make sure everything was in working order and cleaned properly and realized i totally forgot how to do this. You explained/showed it perfectly and provided a great refresher for the seasoned vet getting back into it as well as a great tutorial for the beginner. Well done!

[bluesman]

Thank you so much. I was having difficulty re-assembling my Eclipse so that the trigger worked properly but I am all set after watching your terrific video. Thanks again.

Never remove the nozzle tip as shown at 1:21 in the video. That tool is designed for the Iwata neo, *not* the eclipse. You cannot replace just that metal tip of the nozzle on the eclipse, but you can on the neo. If you ever need to replace your nozzle tip on an eclipse, you don't buy them separately, the nozzle tip comes as a complete assembly with the nozzle body. Disassembling the nozzle further can impact the performance of the brush, cause needle and nozzle misalignment, overall degradation of performance, leaks, etc. If you need to clean the nozzle, you can soak it in cleaner and/or use a shaved toothpick or the needle itself to clean inside the nozzle, there is never a need or reason to disassemble it on the eclipse.

Thanks so much, just bought one (first ever airbrush), of course took it apart straight away because I like to see how things work then instantly panicked putting it back together, saved by your vid !

[cazmodder]

I was having a hard time finding a video showing how to properly disassemble the Iwata Revolution (specifically the part with the o-ring) but this worked just as well. Appreciate the short concise video.

[jason]

Thank you, the instructions are great from an engineering point of view but nothing beats a video showing the actual parts.

[ExileDCC]

The airbrush has been such a great tool for priming during poor weather and creating very nice transitions as well. Some good tips here, thanks for the video.

[Ricstroh]

The tweezer recommendation was great, thank you!!!

[scottcarroll]

I always get messed up on trigger installation and it seems like it gets glossed over very quickly.

[kaleb]

Great video. I've been searching for a full teardown for half a week. Thank you!

[rcwilliamsuk]

Thankyou for teaching me how to put back together an accidentally disassembled airbrush!

[trancehammer]

Thanks for this! This helped me with my first deep cleaning!

[DustOffUH]

Thank you very much for making this video! I haven't used my Eclipse in about 20 years (I've been using my Badger 360) and it wasn't spraying paint. I wasn't sure about removing that tiny air nozzle head. I was able to do that, & that's where it was clogged up.

[TravisPendleton-xb]

Trigger keeper part is the part I need help with and it's impossible to tell what you did here.

[ShorrockPaul]

Great video, so many people show pulling the needle out the back, but t makes sense to pull out the front so as not to pull dry paint through the packing seal etc

[kavoovak]

A video about the techniques you use with the airbrush would be awesome

[ShorrockPaul]

Which way is the trigger keeper aligned.. pointy end up or down.. can't see in your video.

[TravisPendleton-xb]

The trigger keeper alignment part is the most confusing part to me and unfortunately the way this is shot I have no idea what you are doing.

[stringztoo]

When you inserted the trigger keeper you didn't show which end goes up... The wide part is skinny part

[byronswain]

Thank you for the step by step video :)
I got an eclipse, and took apart the nozzle without using the special iwata wrench :(
With your video, I can install the replacement!
