Access is via the head cap. Remove the 4 screws and carefully take off the top. Be careful the head plunger does not fall out and keep it upside down.this way you are sure how to put head back on.

tap top of body against your hand to drive piston up and remove and replace piston assembly.

good luck

Bostitch GFN1564K cordless nailer brand new wont fire.

take it back to the supplier for a replacement or warranty fix
however as it is electric there may be a safety switch that you have to engage to make it work as it would go off when ever and spray nails and staples every where.

N88 bostitch nailer fires when connecting air hose

I have seen this on dewalt nailers also, caused by trigger valve worn. on Bostitch nailer part # tva6 remove roll pins retaining trigger and trigger valve. one roll pin for trigger and one or two for valve. With pins removed apply air pressure to gun popping out the valve. Use glove or folded-up shop rag to catch the valve as I pops out. Be sure to reduce air pressure as it could come out with force. Good luck

Stanley bostitch double fires. It is an older stick feed. Works fine when I hold the trigger and tap the tip. But when I press the gun into the wood and pull the trigger it double fires. Gun is older, but...

You did not list your model number, however most bostitch nailers use the tva6 trigger valve. As this valve wears it will be erratic. Examine the firing pin that makes contact with trigger. If it looks worn or wabbles from side to side, then time to replace. To remove valve first remove trigger by removing roll with 3MM punch. Next remove one or two roll pins just above the valve, also 3mm. With roll pins removed air pressure will pop out valve. Be carefull because valve can come out with force, use glove or rag to catch. Parts available at www.toolpartsdirect.com, or generic valve at www.ebay.com. Good luck

Must pull the trigger every time to shoot a nail, should be able to hold trigger and tap where i want the nail.

On some models the contact fire is not available. There is a flap that is under the actual trigger. When you press the safety in, it engages this little flap which allows the trigger to be engaged. As soon as the safety comes up this little flap falls back down disengaging the trigger.

There is an optional trigger assembly that you can put on this nailer. You need parts 174299 and 174300 to make this gun a contact nailer.
