[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 53884, member: 82"] Very good point about replacing the pressure seals in the gland. No point doing half a job. The piston looks fine, they all have a few marks in them. New seals and it should be good. The main thing that will cause it to not work properly is if there are deep scores in the bore of the tube. If you didn't know, there have been posts before about how to install new piston seals. You will need to stretch the new piston seal, the yellow one, so it fits over the piston. It will feel loose, so you use cardboard or plastic from a plastic bottle, wrap the piston and use a hose clamp to compress the seal so it shrinks, remove it. Oil it up and install into the cylinder. Clean the threads and install Loctite, as mentioned earlier, the nuts do loosen up for no good reason without it. Nice work on the spanner to get the gland off too. [/QUOTE]
