Great Video! This man is thorough with his work. Great forklift mechanic in SW Florida. If you have forklifts and your business depends on them running and being maintained in tip top shape call this man. Awesome job, keep the videos coming.
Always replace that check valve in the bottom of the piston, that’s usually the reason for bypassing. Also have never had an oring under that washer. There’s an oring on the outside of that check valve.
I typically put a good amount of grease on the seal and slowly move it passed the threads while I move the piston from left to right and forward and back. It’s tricky but I’ve never had a seal damaged by the threads. It’s hard to explain, but it’s almost like a circular motion.
@@theforkliftguy yeah that has been my technique as well, and normally it does work but I’ve had a seal tear on the threads too. I’m always looking for tips from more experienced folks. Free lifts can be a huge pain. Good work on this one. The chain wrench is a great idea. I usually use a pipe wrench or a spanner that grabs the notches in the gland nut but sometimes clearance is an issue with those. Thank you again for a wonderful video!
