mine is leaking out the opposite end of the great gun valve. Would I need to do all this just to replace the seal, or could I take the piston out and replace the seal with most of it still intact?
@@cybergeek02748 If you have room - you may be able to get it out and back in. I had to take all that off because my spring was also broken in 3 pieces .
Pause the video at :03 seconds. There you will see the front cross member. Also, at about 2:57 - 3:15 in the video - there is a back cross member near the sprocket. At the back cross member is where the bottle jack was against to collapse the spring. As far as releasing the pressure to get the spring out - I was lucky. I was trying to figure out things. I took the whole assembly off and then loosened the (4) bolts. Fortunately the spring was broken in (2) places on the back end. It did have pressure but not 100% pressure. If I did it again, to release the pressure to get the spring out; I would take (1) bolt out at a time and replace with the long bolts the I use to collapse the spring. Putting a chain around the assembly spring for safety is a good idea.
Do you remember the thread pitch and size for the long bolts(all thread) to release the tension on the spring retaining plate? My spring are good, seals are bad.

@@MacgyverBlack thank you
How and where did you back brace the bottle jack to collapse the spring when removing and putting it back together?
