[QUOTE="billrbg, post: 78453, member: 10970"] Sadly, still no joy here. I used it for about 1 hr this afternoon, the front seal on the lift spool is now leaking (wasn't before). Now I have to drain the tank and take those two hoses loose on one end to bend them out of the way at the front side of the control valve. At least it is the top spool, and I still won't have to take the spool out, won't have to disturb the stuff (detent) at the rear. I don't know if this seal failed because the lip-seals just don't work, or because I horsed that spool back-and-forth too much doing the rear. I'm *dying* of curiosity to get the seal out and inspect it... Stay tuned! I tried the cable-tie a little bit, but wasn't really working for me, even out on the bench. Plus, it would have had to be robust enough to stay in place while I was installing the spring-cap and detent plunger onto the spool, reaching in and doing it by feel. Even if I could have got the cable-tie on, I wasn't confident it would stay on while I was compressing the spring, getting the thread started, and torquing the plunger tight. The "2-piece clamp" was a sure thing, so I took the time to make that. [/QUOTE]
