oil seal on a touch control pump

Charlie M · Mar 26, 2020

Anybody got any secrets for installing that little seal that goes in the pump. I managed to ruin the first one. I was trying to tap it down using a socket of the same size but I guess I can hold it or hit it right. I don't own a press.

Find a piece of tubing that fits around the socket very closely. Cut it to the length of the socket. (you might need to cut the side longways to tailor the tube to the correct inside diameter. Hose clamp it to fit. Now the socket will be, and remain straight. You could also make (have made) a simple tool with shaft diameter bore, and seal OD as OD. But that costs 30 bucks at a friendly machine shop. Jim

If you have a hydraulic jack and a place like under the drawbar you have a press just use something to clean up the area so you don't get dirt in the job. I have used truck front ends and drawbars for presses for years. Also depending on what it is a wood splitter would work for some things.
