Repack of a graco ultra max II 495 pump. Older generation sprayer! Apologize for the lack of terminology but hope it helps someone who is wondering how to repack one themselves
Great video. Been a paint contractor 4 decades always wanted to do the repair myself save the 2 weeks plus down time. I can fix anything but without watching this would have been a nightmare. Only suggestion for others may be to put the packing nut back on hand tight while putting piston back in. Piston was pushing the upper packings out few times but not a big deal.
Good vid. Nice detailed explanation on the change out of packings. I just bought a used 2016 490 mkII pc pro and it has the newer style pump. You show and explain the benefit of the pc pump. I've never changed the pump on the earlier style and now I see why Graco made the change.
Your video helps a lot, thanks. Any time I'm tapping the piston back through the block I try to use a wood dowel. I was surprised at how clean the inside of your sprayer was. Do you dissassemble and clean it often? I run mine until it blows paint out through the packings and then I rebuild.
Never used my repaired tall boy! UNTIL today! 8years it sat from the repair shop! IN WATER!!!!! SMH I sent it in with M.S. !! exspected it to return with the same! NOPE know its going to someone else!! Was praised about how clean my sprayer was and i used M.S. to flush
