I was very careful last time with this, followed the directions of the late Captn,
just used oil as lube and slipped them in place. some leak some don't, many say no sealant some have used RTV - looking for more advice so I don't have to do this again Phil |

I did this a couple of times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) But in addition to the Viton seals I learned that having everything perfectly clean is a must.
Probably does not help but I apply the seals to the tubes then freeze them. Minor reduction in size at best but they seem to go in extremely easy and I think reduces the chances for damage to the seals because you don't have to use as much force. |
