Trying to install new push-rod tubes and seals but it is no where as easy as Jake's video makes it look. Already cut one and the others need very, very close attention as they are going in. Normal?

I'm one of the cheap unfortunates who have not seen Jakes video. Tell us what your doing and maybe we can help.

I oiled up the seals real good and then took a pair of plyers and twisted while pushing the tube with my other hand (thumb) Went in fine

Thats what I'm doing. I found that if you just lube them up and twist and pull the top one gets cut. So what I found is to sink it down slowly and keep tucking the seal at the top with a dull piece of plastic. Seems to work.

They seem to fit the tube, but I bought them from AA and I have heard less than good things about them.

Ummm ... what? Group: Members Posts: 781 Joined: 17-January 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 163 Region Association: Northern California |
I don't know if there's a difference between the TIV tubes and the expandable ones that fit 911's but the best way I found to force the 911 ones into place was with two screw-type hose clamps. Put one on each half of the return tube then pry between the screw housings with a BF screwdriver or a small prybar.

Hey, just use some white grease, wipe a thin flim on the holes in the case and the head, and a little on the seals, use the handle of a screw driver, the cheap plastic ones, that are rounded on the end , they fit the tubes perfect, push the tubes in with the handle don't need to twist them, when pushing them in, if they start pinching the seal, back them out a little, then they go right in, clean up excess grease. The small ones arn't the problem, it's the big one's going in the head. That's the easy way I found to do them, you could try one that way, see how it works.

This is exactly what I do. Slow and give a little nudge as necessary. Slow. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
