Finally I decided to take the little Rohrbaugh apart for cleaning. It was my first. Thank the Lord for John's tool!!!! After searching our Forum I found the mistake I was making.
Cleaned and Gun Buttered up for the next time out.

Johns tool does help with reassembly.

That tool is worth more than he charges. Now that I have mine I think he should double the price :D

I have two. One at home and one at work. I am fortunate enough to be able to clean and mess with my guns at my office.

One never forgets that first time! ;)
Seriously, I think it took me about half an hour, and some help from a well-manicured hand of my little wife, to field strip, clean, and reassemble my R9 for the first time. These days, with the takedown tool, I can do it all in just a few minutes with a few well-practiced moves.

Glad the cleaning is now easier for you. Fortunately, I don't have to use the tool, yet, but have one of the originals when needed.

I was always bragging on my gunsmithing skills until today. I will never forget this. I am now not for sure if I want to shoot it again because that means another cleaning.
;D

But you have the tool! ;D

The tool needs to have a way to use it to push out the pin. I may have to talk to the manufacturer to see about that ...
Maybe a removable stylus like addition ...

The use of a small brass punch works like a charm and someone on the Forum suggested cutting off the end of a que tip and using the stem works great. May save reinventing the tool; although a good idea. :)

I used a small punch and pushed the pin right out. My problem was
re-installing the spring.

If any one has a problem with the reassembly, you have just described it. There is a lot of previous discussion on this issue and a little technique goes a long way. The main problem is lining up the spring and guide rod assembly so that it is centered, both horizontally and vertically.

This video may help with take down and reassembly.

WOW! Thanks kjtrains.

He sure makes that look very easy. A couple health issues with my hand keeps me from being that smooth, but with John's tool I should have no more trouble 8)
