Paasche EZ STARTER Airbrush question

How do you get the metal paint tip (the lower one) off for cleaning?

I'm getting ready to test taking off thought I'd ask first.

Looks like the same setup as Badger 350. If so, there's a brass ferrule thingie that runs through the plastic that you unscrew from the rear with an included mini-spanner wrench (you can easily make your own if it doesn't come with one). Come to think of it, that "ferrule thingie" is the needle itself, which screws into a lockwasher and the tip. It's very easy to knock down (at least the Badger is). But I shoot lacquer thinner through mine after every color, and almost never have to remove the tip/needle--maybe once a year.

found the wrench, it was inside spare bottle!

So once you get spray nozzle off, you can get air nozzle off too?

What's the spare bottle for?

Appreciate it!

Sorry, I'm not comprehending the concept of "spare bottle." It's like "spare money." It just doesn't compute. There's no such thing.

You can take the air nozzle off (on the Badger, it's just a press fit) but there's really no reason to.

It's a can of worms getting air needle assembly back together

I'm putting needle opening back in facing up towards airflow which

I think it was that way taking it apart

Spare bottle is second bottle that came with airbrush kit

First bottle attaches to airbrush

Thanks
