    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

There is a double lipped seal that you need to pull out and replace. normally they don't give much problems but age may have gotten to yours.

Cuidado!!

Cuidado!!

The seals are easy to change out but you need to be really careful not to ruin the new one when installing it. It's a tight fit so be sure that it goes in straight. :? (I wrecked 2 of them in a row before figuring it out so, unfortunately,...I know what I'm talking about :cry: )

Chuckycheese is right: better order two seals. Chances are you'll damage the new seal the first time.

I think Ron Ayers is great and I've done a lot of business with them but for such a cheap item, the shipping cost will eat you alive....I'd order it from my local dealer. It'll be more expensive but...so what :?: :!: :!:
