So looking for some answers here on something I found in my old Paasche airbrush. Replacing the air valve packing I found a spring on the top side or other side of the packing.
In the original parts breakdown it does not show this spring

So looking at number 23 the individual parts I have. From bottom to top; the nut, spring, Valve plunger and the air washer. But above the air washer is a smaller spring which is in my Paasche, but it is not listed at all.
I also have the updated version of the VL and it too does not show this spring.

On the right side in a boxed view, you can see the trigger, then the washer and the valve plunger. But no spring
Does anyone know why on my Paasche that a spring is on the trigger side? Maybe from the past, someone who owned this did not know that there was no spring and put one in anyways?
One more question I have is the air valve assembly. How do you remove that without scratching or gauging it up? Is there a special tool not mentioned that I need to buy seperately?
Thanks everyone, looking for an answer to this mystery.
