Need assistance finding short air pack parts diagram or TM

[chigger]

I have a short air pack (new style) and can't find a diagram. I have a seal thatI am not sure which way it goes back in. I have the TM that shows the rebuild of the long style air pack. Just can't find any instructions for the short air pack.

Post pics, maybe we can guide you through.

No one has been able to find a shop manual for the short style air-pac. There are plenty of threads on rebuilding them though.

Can you share some of those links that have information on rebuilding the short air pack?

Thank you. I read the thread. The part in question was the piston in picture #16. The link was perfect. I had forgotten which direction the seal went in.

Just remember that seals always face the side of pressure. Since that is a air seal which acts against the spring pressure the seal lips will face away from the spring.
