Hi All,
I'm just wondering if anyone has rebuilt a steering damper?
Mine's lost most of it's oil and is not effective anymore, took it off last night, got the piston rod unscrewed ( so there's only the half with the rose joint still in the damper ) took the circlips and washers out of both ends but I can't get the seals to come out?
There's a brass bush sitting behind the seal, I though I'd be able to use the main rod and piston to dislodge the bush and seal but it doesn't seem to want to budge? are there any more internal circlips in this that are holding it together?
Anyone done one of these before that can tell me how to get the seals and bushes out? pics if possible??
Thanks,
Poucher
