The trim on my Prodrive has started to leak where the silver piston rod enters the cylinder. Is this something that I can fix myself and how much does something like this cost? Thanks |

A rebuild kit will run you about 40 bucks through prodrive. |

Don't know about that one, but it seems like the hydro rev ram cost me about $165 from prodrive a yr or so back. I haven't paid enough attention to the trim to know whether it can be repacked or not. |

A seal and packing kit is probably all you need. |

Ok, I now have the seal kit from Prodrive (it's actually called Rod x Bore, 3/4 x 1.5). Can someone please provide detailed instructions at a first grade level on how to replace said seals? Thank You |

You will have to remove the rod gland from the cylinder. Once the gland is removed pull the rod and the piston will come out of the bore. Now you need to remove the rod gland from the rod, I don't know if the Clevis is threaded on the end of the rod but if so remove the Clevis and slide gland off the rod. If the Clevis will not come off remove the piston and slide the gland off the rod where the piston screws on the rod. Some times the piston is has lock tight and may be hard to remove. During this process do not damage the rod where the rod seal rides a bid scratch in the rod will cut the new rod seal. Once the gland is removed pay attention to the direction the rod seal faces. The leading edge should be towards the piston. Reinstall the rod gland , grease the seal and edge of rod and be careful not to cut the seal. Once the rod seal is installed reinstall piston and replace the piston seal, again pay attention to piston seal direction. Lube the piston seals and slide back ind the bore. Be careful not to cut piston seals. Slide the rod gland down to cylinder barrel and tighten down. That's it, not a hard job just be careful when installing the seals. Be sure there is no burs that will cut the seals. Good luck |
