Advice on my first run through of a G250

[Erik Forsberg]

I just want to take the time to say a big thank you to all of you for having patience with my questions and steer me in the right direction for everything from tools, to procedures, to o-rings.

Super big thank you till all of you that have helped in in different ways, including @herman and @Bryan@Vintage Double Hose even though haven't done it here in the thread.

An extra shout out to @rsingler who has gone out of his way to help me with everything from spare parts to guidance and identifying parts. What a hero!

Congrats! I just wanted to add that I find the doublehook o-ring pick from scubatools to be extremely useful, and I think it's less risky than other picks for removing the HP o-ring from a MK10. It's designed to do tasks exactly like that. You can sand off the tip a bit if you're concerned. Basically I bury the tip in the o-ring which destroys the o-ring but provides a nice rubber sheath for protecting the journal from getting scratched.

I would highly suggest herman's MK10 o-ring insertion tool if you don't have it. It saves a great deal of time and aggravation.

I got Herman's oring tool bit hsvent gotten a Double hook pick yet. Main reason is that scubatool charges $35 in shipping for a pick over here or $10 if I send it to someone in US first, so I'll see if I can source that locally first

@rsingler is nothing short of a true hero. He hooked (pun intended) me up with one!

Hi Erik,

See you are living in Europe maybe this will help for tools www.scubaservicetools.com they are very quick with shipping and prices are good.
Also have a look at their manuals website as you can see there are many different G250 regs.

I assume you got the care package OK.
