Status: online 		I have a set of the purple BVM retracts that have been sitting around for a few years. The cylinders were leaking pretty bad, used some O-ring lube, it fixed 2 of them, but one is still leaking. Anyone know how do disassemble the cylinder to replace the o-rings?

Thanks

Yes, BVM will sell them separately. I ordered 3 for my F-100 and installed them this week. The leak is completely gone.

Status: online 		I guess I will call them monday and find out what happened. Leaking air cylinders are holding me up from doing the maiden on my Bobcat XL that has been in the works for a couple of years now. I am getting anxious!
