Does anyone know where I may be able to find the repair manual for the MK15? No luck on frogkick or google. Any help would be appreciated.

So I found the schematic 10-600-000_mk15_rev_b.pdf. I'm thinking there isn't a repair guide but just this technical service schematic. Can anyone confirm?
You are corrrect I believe. I may have the latest schematic, I'll check and message you. FWIW every SP manual I've ever seen looks like the intern wrote it.
I've never seen an actual MK15 repair guide, but I have several and have worked on them quite a bit. If you have any specific questions, I might be able to help you. Two quick tips; 1) you need a special skinny pair of circlip pliers and a specific bushing installation tool. Scubatools has both. 2) Don't try to remove the plastic bushing on the ambient chamber side of the HP o-ring. There is another one on the HP side of the o-ring that you do replace. These bushings are both part #9 in the schematic I have.
I love the MK15, I think it's an under-appreciated 1st stage. They did have a somewhat disastrous recall where the first batch seats was getting impaled by the piston when not-so-smart techs were adjusting the IP while pressurized, but they quickly did away with that set up and replaced it with a reliable seat and shims for IP adjustment.
