Air Pak rebuild FYI

[WillWagner]

I ordered an airpak rebuild from saturn. This is just FYI, it was missing the o ring between the air cylinder plates and the paper gaskets were hard as rocks. No big deal, The old o ring was still serviceable and I used a trick an old timer taught me to soften and expand the gaskets back to their original size and shape. Get real hot..steam cleaner hot..water and soak for a bit..these took about 20 min. Put the air pak on, no more brake fluid out the road draft tube! Woo hoo! All is good again. There sure are alot of parts in there. BTW, I tried to order the P/N on the box directly from Midland..no way, obsolete.

I get some fluid leakage out the draft tube too. Does that indicate the airpack needs a rebuild? Everything seems to work great.
