An injection molding nozzle having self-supported valve member actuating mechanism. The elongated valve member (64) extends rearwardly into a cylinder assembly (100) which is mounted on the main body (14) of the nozzle (10). The rear end (80) of the valve member (64) is connected to a pneumatically actuated piston (102) to reciprocate it between the open and closed position. A wedge clamp (132) removably attaches the cylinder assembly (100) to a connector member (84) which is bolted to the rear end (16) of the main body (14) of the nozzle (10).
