s'what I did Pat - all was fine... I did them myself so was careful when nearing the rubbers.

Push the pistons in as far as poss and plug the inlet.

IMHO

You need to aim the shotgun carefully so as not to damage the pistons and / or the seals

I won't be holding the gun, but I'm sure the guys know what they are doing.

You guys dont do anything by halves, do you!

Ireckon they should use the ones with the big ball bearing / small cannon ball wedged in the end.





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?
