I've got replacemnt seals but no idea how to get them off or on.   Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 11:12 pm johnny stecchino Member Joined: 20 Aug 2008 Posts: 13 You first have to take it apart. There are posts in here on how to do that. Then once stripped. Pry seal off with screwdriver. To put on, use a bit silicone oil, then pry on, just like putting on a bicycle tire. I typically lightly clamp the piston in a vise (piston wrapped in cloth so vise jaws do no damage), then i use two tiny flat blade screwdrivers to put on piston seal, just like using two tire irons to put on a bicycle tire. Be careful not to cut or gouge the seal, just slip it on the piston. Silicone oil helps slipping it on. here's a website for the disassembly: http://losttourist-losttourist.blogspot.com/   Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 1:06 am blas Member Joined: 04 Apr 2008 Posts: 19 Location: Estonia johnny stecchino said it all but you can try to heat it a bit in the hot water, should make things easier.
