You don't need a nozzle wrench... truly, a short soak and gentle placement of a needle will get it out...
Take the needle out backwards then a soak in water, gentle sideways pressure and when you put it back together don't apply gorilla torque to the wrench!!
Nice... MEK - solvent of choice...tools.... small solvent safe dish, nozzle wrench and solvent safe eyedropper
View attachment 40154 View attachment 40155
use wrench to hold nozzle, fill eyedropper with good solvent (i used M.E.K. methyl ethyl keytone free from work) View attachment 40156 hold wrench with nozzle one hand and flush nozzle several times eyedropper filled with solvent... you can put nozzle and eyedropper in solvent and rapid flush several times
View attachment 40157 i would say 75% of sediment was from nozzle
10 minutes and totally clean no paint what so ever in nozzle( couldnt take a pic cause phone wont focus that small
remember to always wear safety equipment : respirators and glasses when working with solvents....probally gloves too

Mine didn't screw in but right after it was recommended I soak it I pulled cap off and it came out easily.

Very informative, did not know MEK could be used as a cleaning agent in this manner. MEK in my world is used for plastic model kit assembly. Cheers Eh!
MEK solves all things...
If it's an eclipse then yes it is. All the Iwata (not the Neo) have PTFE seals
And if it is the front end of the brush (the bits that unscrew...) then there aren't any seals...

V1 Microns have a rubber packing seal.
Is that the really early ones... Hooo, sneaky...

Not that early. Mine is 2012.
Yes it looks like it changed around 2014 with the v2
