[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 91569, member: 13117"] Yeah. Tell me about it. When we tried to remove the "head" (that is what BOCAT calls it), we caught hell. We tried heat, it barely helped at all. We heated the barrel to red-hot to try to loosen the rubber seals & rust. We ended up beating the hell of it with a punch & hammer. That thing fought us tooth & nail. Luckily, it went back together smoothly. We had to replace the head at $147. However, it no longer leaks & that was the long term goal for us. It feels so good when it works out good. I was asking if a lot of other guys tried to do these because they are so simple once they are apart & cleaned up. CARTER MACHINERY (our local CATERPILLAR dealership) charges around $600 for just a true re-pack. They almost always say that they had to do something else, but it never shows. [/QUOTE]
