Wish I could, but the second one ran off with the first. Actually I think they're blowing off. I never hear it, but when I checked... gone again. They're on B/O again so it may be a week or so.

Well, whoever has this problem should pick either method before it's too late. I have no more pressure build at all BUT,my upper seals on my box are now junk! I can't see buying a entire new box for 1 blown seal! I've been searching for a kit but so far this--><-- is all I've been doing it seems like! LMAO!!!! Calling the dealer today. I will keep you posted!

The dealer has the kit available.......IIRC it was around 85 bucks! Kinda rediculous for what you get too! Top plate seal, shaft seal and a new lock nut.

Thank you very much! I'll have to go to the parts counter and have a look-see at the kit and deturmine if it'll work! I'll let you know!
