I have one piston that started leaking at the last five inches of pumping it up. I'm assuming it is an O ring. The owners manual that is posted on here gives directions on how to replace them but there is a hand written note on it that says "no there is an easier way" does anyone know the "easier way?
Not sure of the easy way but i just jacked it up put a brace in corner undid the 3/8 ths nut on top releded the pressure ( the brace holdes it up ) pushed down the shaft took off the bug nut on top of tube and raised it up and moved it to side till it came out use rags there is gonna be oil but its easy to do.
put O ring on slide it in tube lift up put 3/8 ths nut back jack up ( you may need to ad jack oil to pump due to the loss before you fix
simple I did all mine .

I replaced it this last weekend. Very easy to do. Cost me 59 cents for the o ring from Ace hardware and a roll of paper towels.
Note the operative word here is roll. It is a messy job but simple. It's like driving with worn out windshield wipers. When you finally replace them you think, why didn't I do that months ago!
Off to the Snake River for Spring King Salmon!
