O-ring tear

[AP aroma]

I am a first time flyer of AT motor reloads. When I went to install the nozzle with its aft O-ring in the case, it was VERY difficult to get into the end of the case. Yes, I did apply lube. I decided to remove the nozzle and inspect the O-ring. The O-ring had a tear in it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jim

Which reload, and which case?

Dose o ring go on the nozzle?

Do not try to use a damaged O ring. I like to use Super Lube, a clearish grease. Thin film is all it takes. If something does not fit easy, probably have O ring in wrong place. Look at the exploded view for O ring # and placement.

This is An AT M1315 in a 75 MM case.

Thank you David and cross fire. I think the problem was I was putting the O-ring on the forward end of the nozzle when it actually was supposed to be on aft side of the projection on the nozzle.

That would have been an expensive fail...
