Raco Shock O rings ????

Post by Venomusss »

Are both rubber seals able to be replaced on the Raco shocks?
One is an easy to remove O ring, but the other seems to be seated in the the brass fitting in the end of the shock. I don't want to damage it by removing it unless it can be replaced.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

I got mine at the local Ace Hardware store. You could also get them at McMaster-Carr.

How do you get out the rubber seal on the outside of the brass fitting? It looks like it is under a metal ring that is compressed into the brass end.

The O - ring on the threaded side comes off easy.
