Geber Auto 06 Disassembly and Spring Replacement | Intuition Gear

Gerber may have used Red Loctite because of it being a military model.

Great channel bro 👊🏼✌🏼

What spring did you use? Size

I know you guys are busy and all. What are the chances of getting an updated video to this?

Your right about these gerber mine is extremely slow also

Will this work for the 06 fast if not where can I find something that will?

Any way you can add a link to the .50 max, having a hard time finding it on the site

The only other not only compatible but EVEN BETTER would be the
HOGUE EX - A05 !!!

Where can we get the mega spring if at all possible?

If I can't get a spring from another automatic knife to replace the one in myne can I find one in any other kind of object I'm trying to hopefully get one for free somehow because I always have to spend all my money on other thangs

That’s so weird, my 06 has no blade play and is about as snappy as the benchmade. Maybe it was a defective model, sucks about that still tho

Yeah buddy…I know what’s going down in the shed next weekend. Thanks boys.

Ya dude im in the process of doing this now, had to take a break cuz im having a hell of a time, like you said not enough hands, curious to see how it holds up.

So after a year since you swapped the Mega Spring in how is it holding up?
I just found this video and subscribe to your channel.

There are three options the knifekits site has for .50 Gerber 06 springs:
1. Factory strength
2. MAXX Torque COILM50 (silver)
3. MEGA Torque COILMG50 (black)
You should use #2, this provides a stronger opening than the factory. #3 will need the spring seat milled to fit, it's too big and puts friction on the blade.
Good video showing the internals.

I have two 06 Gerbers. One 10th Annv that works perfect. Other is a serrated tanto that was super slow or never fully opened. Took it apart to clean it. Yes lots of red loctite. The blade stop with the double screws needed the most cleaning one screw stopped halfway in. Three total tear downs later finally got it back together with a slightly deformed(once pinched) spring, it fires correctly. Not a heavy snap like my 10 Annv but no restrictions and all the way open and locked. I feel it could use a better spring but going to relax my nerves a while before attempting again.

Interesting. My 06 Auto was snappy right out of the box. I have carried it every day for the last 6-8 months and it is still snappy. I carried a Microtech Ultratech Tactical OTF every day for over a year and the knife never loosened up a bit. Thumb fire was still really stiff.

Interesting video though. I will use this as a point of reference for when I deep dive clean it.

This makes me realize I made a good decision not buying that POS. Especially when optics planet wanted me to sign an agreement to buy it. F that I’ll go carry my 10” Bowie tomorrow and maybe my 5 foot sword the next day without agreeing to anything. I live in Texas and I can walk down the damn street with an AR 15 if I want to. Why would I kiss ass for a knife?

I'm trying to buy a Gerber 06 auto in coyote with serration. Can you put in a stronger spring? Thank you for any help you can give!

The Mega spring is thicker than the stock spring, so although it "fits" it will warp the spring inside the knife. It seems to be working but the blade is off center due to spring being too thick. Is this what yall experienced?

After watching this...
Note to self: Don't buy a Gerber.

How do I get a replacement spring

My knife is one it's way from Gerber! Guess I'm ordering that spring too!! 😄

Is this the .50 diameter? I got an 06 and have just spent a hour trying to get that damned thing together after taking it apart for some maintenance but if tighten it so the blade is centered and the back part of the pivot is mostly flush it will not open well so I'm hoping a stronger spring will help that

Question- what tool set was used? Brand, size and head type? I am wanting to upgrade my spring also as I have discovered the very same sluggish release in my 06.

You two are the worst 06 auto instructors ever! 😆I'm sitting here trying to put it together, as you sit there and try to put it together. I'm saying to my screen "WTH are you doing with that?!" While I'm sitting here saying to myself, "WTH are you doing trying to pop out?!" Gawd what a mess. I'm laughing my ass off at all three of us.

I'd love an update video!

Is the 06 fast not Auto coil springe?

Hey guys. 2 questions...
Where did you get the upgraded spring?
and
How did you get the blade off from the pivot bolt?

Mine DOES NOT come off. I ruined the original spring while maintenancing and need to replace it, but I can't get the blade removed to do anything.

How’s it held up? Good work!!

It's got to move a big blade

dang this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for this!

Thank You guys!!!
