                         My VL is 25 years old and all of a sudden doesn't pass air. The needle and orifice and tip are all clean. I figure the packing nut and o ring have worn out. I disassembled it and have no idea how to get these out to replace them. Any suggestions?

                        I doubt whether the packing nut is your problem.  It isn't part of the air path.  You might want to look at this page where it says "No air comes out."
