OUCH! That's gotta hurt.Tom,
I got wheel bearings and brakes coming out my ears here.
That sounds like he really knows what's going on with these. Do you think he might ever offer a kit with the updated parts? AlanHe also said when using the neoprene rubber air piston cup seal (the big 4" one) it is not necessary to use the rope wick which is only there to absorb air tool oil to keep things lubed. He replaces the wick with a metal expander ring which is further expanded by the flat coil spring that looks like a dip stick. He uses a grease on the piston and doesn't see the need to really lube it very often as the neoprene is pretty self lubricating unlike the old leather seals.
Funny how you used to post all night long. Its just us northerners now in the middle of the night.I totally forgot Dan! I've been non stop since this morning and am winding down for the day at 9:20. Bout my usual bed time these day's. You can skip the socks but I do need new chonies. The elastic in mine are plum worn out! Leave out the ones with bacon strips.
PM headed yer way.
