I have done mine twice,I used a different maker,cost a few bucks more.Both times no leaks for about three weeks.Then dang thing starts leaking really Bad.first oring/seal did have a smashed spot on it.
I completed it leaving it mounted, great help here not to forget this piece, also don't forget to hook up the plunger not like I forgot.great great help here, btw 10mm did it for me, keep it square with the bolt
I had no idea what hydroboost was . I ended up putting dye in my power steering fluid and then I learned. I hope no springs or anything else falls out as long as I'm careful. Am I correct in assuming this ? Thanks.
I rebuilt mine then the O-ring started leaking in one week. I put a remanufactured dirt last on there from AutoZone and it started leaking immediately. What would cause my Hydro boost valve to leak? Would it be the power steering pump or gearbox anything like that could cause that
I had that happen to me in the past when I first started rebuilding these. Double check ur work (cliche I know). Sounds like either it's not sitting flush from the bleeder not pushed in all the way or the o ring is folding inside when ur putting the plunger back in thru it. Make sure to lub the plunger well. My guess is the oring is folding and that's why ur only getting a week's worth of use outta it before it goes bad again. Good luck lmk
@@richardeddings7259 there's a bleeder that has 3 holes. Make sure that's pushed all the way in so when u put it back together it sits flush to the housing/mount on the firewall. And make sure to not fold the new oring when putting the plunger back thru
@@daltonm4896 I rebuilt the first one but the second one was already rebuilt by Duralast. I think I'm not priming my system with the engine off both times I've primed with the engine on probably have air pockets blowing out O-ring.
I'm doing mine now same way. But the lower piston don't seem to be going into the new seal. I don't want to force it. I'll keep trying unless someone has any feedback for ways to help
I buy the 3 seal bag but u can buy the entire rebuild kit which has like 10+ seals if u wanna do a full rebuild (not recommend) the 3 bag 99% of the time is all u need and it's the inside plunger seal that goes bad
@@jaysmith7526 I don't see how u are confused? There's 3 pieces. Ur thinking to much an depth 1 seal/gasket garment, for the mount to housing 2 seals/gssket garments, 1-big and 1-small depending on if u have 3500HD+ or regular hydro u decide which one u have after u pull the plunger put. Important: don't ram the plunger back in after u installed the new inside seal. Take a "pick" like I have in my video and gentle roll it back over the seal inside. Good luck
@@jaysmith7526 You use 2 of the 3. There is an extra one bc as Dalton mentioned there is 2 different size for heavier or lighter duty applications. When you pull the old seal out you will match that seal up to the size of the correct new one and thats how you know which one to use. So again, TWO of the TRHEE in the kit get used.
