steering valve 2640

I have to R&R O-rings in the steering valve does anyone have a trick for doing this? have heard of home made tool for the job anyone know what it looks like?

Just some thing to extend your curved o-ring pick, do them one at a time so you don't get mixed up in which groove to use,,it's an ornery job.

Thanks, got some picks tonight maybe tape one to a long screwdriver. Do you know, off the top of your head,if there is one at the very bottom of that boor.

Does starting at the top or starting at the bottom make any difference?

There are 6 of them, and when you look down the bore it is like looking into mirrors, the oil openings can be mistaken for the O-ring groove, so be careful and do one at a time so you don't get confused.

I have a long set of picks (Blue point)that do the job for me. I also leave the column on the tractor so I have a place to sit. A
magnetic work light helps too. Like Tim says there are groove that don't take an o-ring Should have an o-ring, groove o-ring
groove in that sequence from the bottom up
