SHAFT PISTON GASKET REPLACEMENT

The u-cup shaft piston gasket, over time can lose its efficiency and cause some small leaking, especially in the initial phase of heating

I used, to solve the inconvenience, a rubber washer in silicone, but to avoid damaging it while inserting the shaft piston, I propose a different way of replacement.

disassemble the shaft from the piston

put the new gasket

put the ring nut

put a little bit of  lube and insert the shaft

screw the ring nut

put the spring

put the piston body

screw the piston body
