Re: Hey Mike and or Bill
Got my Bronco to do first. What I have found that will postpone
fixing it, is to spray it with gasoline, then wash it off with your
garden hose pressure nozzle. Swells the seal and washes out any dirt
particles holding it open.

Re: Hey Mike and or Bill
I just checked and Canadian Tire sells the input seal for $16.00 and the
other various seals if needed or a whole kit.
I just unbolt the box and drop it down to change the front seal leaving
everything hooked up to it.

people at the best of times, but all the staff have changed here in the last
month so I have to train them all again :)
