Hey Pete. It’s there for a good reason. As someone who works around heavy equipment, and I know it’s different, safety isn’t something worth gambling on. The Berns Company (Gary Kirpluk) sells rebuild kits for $75 (although that was probably more than five years ago now). There are parts to deal with but the rebuild itself is pretty straight forward. If you need any help or detailed pics of anything, let us know! And once done, there’s almost no maintenance associated with (maybe a couple drops of mineral oil in the drum each year). #stovebolt.com #payingitforward
