cool ideas for slipping this o-ring into this shaft? i asked the suspension shop i got the rebuild kit from for tips and they said to use a hex key to guide the rest of the o-ring in and to have good luck, but it ain't working
Cut a cover piece just big enough to go over the piece of shaft and keep even pressure on the whole o-ring as you push down
That o-ring is way too big for that groove and bore diameter...
>>2963417that'd what you'd think but >>2963409
>>2963407Your O ring has the wrong outer diameter
>>2963407>>2963419What exactly is the suspension component you are re-sealing? Any chance there was a different option offered that takes a different rebuild kit? Because that is straight up fucked...
>>2963423It's a rebound adjustment needle.I measured the thing and found a.070 C.S. X 0.114 ID o-ring from Fox.Real weird, there's no way I have the wrong model of rebuild kit
>>2963425>there's no way I have the wrong model of rebuild kitjust because a mfg sends you a part with the correct number on the package doesnt mean its right part in reality t. mechanic back to the op cut a beer can up with a pair of scissors to get a rectangle of sheet metal. if your scissors are good there wont be much burr on the edges to worry about cutting the seal. wrap the sheet around the seal with it overlapping itself. put a hose clamp over it and gently crank everything down to the right diameter then push the seal ina piece of plastic works too
>>2963425then again you are a furfag anime poster
>>2963433I prefer plastic and have used that method several times. I also use extra plastic caulking gun nozzle sections cut to suit.
I can't quite follow what you're trying to do, but maybe castration pliers?
>>2963407>cool ideas for slipping this o-ring into this shaft?use an electrical tie to compress it and then slide it off the shaft once the o-ring is inside
