Ah , the oil seal replacement, I’ve replaced most of the seals on my old girl , the age old problem of breaking the seal on the collar, many a folk have broken and bent spanners ,pipe extension and the like getting them of , I’ve always been a bit shy of heat , good to see you do it well , I learnt a trick from a old timer , he said to me “ boy I can’t see what all the trouble is about , just tap round the edge with a hammer and he I’ll “ come un dun “” , so I tried it , and it did ! , but I did have one ram which was really tight , so I rattled it with a kango hammer and that one went . 👍 must say well done to Claire for lending a hand even though it got greasy, and as always great filming, keep going with the good work you both Regards H👍
Hi Hartley! Yes, I have replaced a few ram seals on this 3CX. Some needed heat like this one, some I managed with a big pipe extension. I may try the hammer on the next one if I can't get it with an extension. Claire doesn't mind giving a helping hand when I need it. I think she enjoys it on the quiet😊 Thanks for watching!
It looks like when you are reassembling there were a couple pieces you did not use is that correct. I am rebuilding my clam shell and it looks like the two same pieces one small o ring and a thick plastic bushings looking one.
@@NatePrice-uh6jb Hi Nate, yes that's correct, the seal kit contains pieces that are not needed, just replace what you take off, make sure the new seals are in the same order, the right way round and on the piston seals, stagger the joins 👍👌
Hi Martin, the parts were from my local JCB dealer, some parts are similar price to after market parts, so genuine JCB parts and great customer service from T C Harrison (Sheffield)
Another great video Paul keep up the excellent work 👌 😊👍
Thank you Benny 😊
