tedsmart Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi, all The swivel seal seems to be leaking abit I was thinking of loosening the seal retainer on the back and spinning the seal 180 degrees to see if I can prolong its life! Do you recomend this or not ? also is it worth putting one shot in it? The leak isn't too bad. Cheers Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I've never heard of rotating a seal. The problem might not be the seal though - do you have any play in the swivel bearings? A new seal is only a fiver and you can split it rather than other work. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull and push in the 9-3 oclock position, or 12-6? and what movement is ok? Cheers ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
