How about when I hook everything back up again. Is there something that I need to be mindful of to ensure that it works properly when it's put back together? : I know it's a mechanical unit and it's pretty straightforward, but I'm a novice at this sort of thing. Thanks in advance for the advice! : Tony Morreale Hey Tony, you pretty much answered your own question. You may want to plug the fitting at the block to keep dirt out and when you hook it back up make sure the fittings are tight. I had one drip a few drops of black oil on a carpeted floor mat before I caught it. Other than that it is as you say pretty simple. If you happen to be doing any sandblasting you will want to cover everything in sight, that stuff will get into the smallest crevice imaginable. Good luck with your project. Dave 482a
