Taking
the Jetnut apart
- Remove
the pressure pad and seal (use grease gun).
- Remove
bleed screw and ball (inspect area)
- Remove
actuate fitting, using caution as they break easily (inspect
thread)
- Thoroughly
clean Jetnut, especially groove area. Inspect groove area
for nicks or gashes
- If
groove seems to be okay, you are ready to begin repairing the
Jetnut. If not, the groove walls must be smoothed using an emery
cloth or equivalent.
Repairing
the Jetnut
- Replace
the seal, and with the O-ring on the seal down and the groove
on the Jetnut facing you, set the seal on the top of the groove
(see illustration). The seal should look 1/2" too large.
Push down on the seal until the I.D. of the seal is cocked in
the groove. Then, with a flat tip wooden stick with a non-sharp
edge, work the O.D. of the seal into the groove by pushing down
with your thumb. Work the seal in until the seal is flush at
the top of the groove area. The seal has to be pushed
down about every 45° ...do not push the seal all
the way down. Continue this until a small portion of the seal
remains...carefully work this section into the Jetnut. DO NOT
CUT THE SEAL. Once the seal is all the way in the groove area,
it can be pushed all the way down, but do not bottom the seal
out in the groove.
- Insert
pressure pad
- Replace
ball and bleed screw (do not tighten down
- Replace
actuate fitting (do not over tighten snug will do). Use
teflon tape on the threads of fitting when replacing.
- Pump
grease into fitting until grease comes out of bleed
- Tighten
down bleed screw, hand snug will suffice
