Air pack questions and rebuild?

[Madfarmersson]

I know there are some threads about air packs, but I need an
up front answer. I have brake fluid coming out the air discharge,
I am not sure but I think I need to rebuild the air pack.
Is this the problem?
Eriks military surplus sells air pack rebuild kits, are they very hard to rebuild?
Any thing I need to know before starting?

Any help would be great,
Madfarmersson.

They are simple to rebuild. The only problem is the gasket on the end of the air pack. They fit extremely tight. Get a brake cylinder hone, small, for the liquid cylinders. I used very fine emory cloth on the air cylinder to remove rust.

Mine is unfortunately doing this too.

it its my understanding that only the older style is rebuildable?

That is incorrect, both new and old have rebuild kits avaiable.

Yah, that's why I posed the answer as a question. To date I have only seen the OLD rebuild kits available. Any idea who has the NEW rebuild kits?

How do I tell the diffrence in the old and new kits, from what I see there is only one kit out there?
