Question... I've removed the screws, locating stud and inner plug. The valve doesn't want to budge. It's my understanding that the 180 doesn't require a special tool to loosen the valve. What the best way to remove it without damaging it? Thanks

You need to remove the stock bolt (rod) from the bottom of the tube and the breech screw (in the breech, top of tube). I believe the 180 does not require a large screwdriver like the 160 (double check this- do you have slots on the valve head when looking down the tube at the front of the valve ('front' is facing the Co2 cap)) if not- then you need to knock it out with a dowel (from rear, valve comes out the front) as the seal has likely 'glued' it to the tube. If you have the slotted valve top- get a large screwdriver in there and rotate it before knocking it out.

Thanks for the quick and detailed help. I appreciate it! There aren't any slots, but there is a pin in the middle of the back of the valve. I'll try tapping it out with a piece of PVC so I go around the pin. I thought it should go out the front, but I wasn't sure. Thanks again. Big help.

The 'pin' is the valvestem- avoid beating on it if you can (a wooden dowel with a hole drilled in it may be useful).

Thanks, AirgunEric. I spent to much time thinking of ways to tap the valve out without hurting the valve stem. Never thought of drilling a hole in a dowel. I missed the obvious on that one.

Another question if you don't mind... Which parts get oiled during the reassembly? Are there places where oil should be avoided? Thanks.

It's a Co2 gun- a bit of oil won't hurt it, but too much oil in the valve will only shoot out the barrel or lock up the valve if you fill it with oil. A very small amount of oil on moving valve parts, as much as you like on exterior mechanical joints. Don't use oils with a ton of detergents- 30W engine oil, 3-in-1 or any of the airgun oils are fine in/on a Co2 gun.
