IGS Gas spring equipped with a Ball Valve (BV)

How to reduce the force on a gas spring equipped with a Ball Valve.
On this video we are using a 1.8mm drill bit and a small hammer to gently tap on the drill bit, you can also use a 1.5mm Allen key if you don't have 1.5-1.8mm drill bits available.

Each time you hear the gas escape some force is reduced. On small gas springs with a small gas chamber the force goes down quickly so you should go slowly and make as many trials as necessary.
