I could only think of a large "O" Ring, but I don't think it would handle the stress of the movement. The old ones are very hard and brittle. Any suggestions please. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 | Actually a rubber "O" ring which is grease resistent will work. I've used one successfully. Pretty inexpensive, too. Joe

Is the o-ring in question on this catalog page (from the Filling Station)? If the link does not work, the part number is FS-4356 at The Filling Station (which has a catalog that works oddly at best in some web browsers). | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 36 | Good options for sure. Thanks guys, I will let you know down the road which one was the choice. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,820 | That could be the correct one, but what I would do is take the bell that slips on the end of the torque tube and the two flat rings at the back of the bell that are inside the hand tightened screw on ring and go to the "O" ring store, find the right size and buy it. According to The Filling Station, the price is $.75. Another thought would be to call The Filling Station and ask there "O" ring will work on your particular drive line. What ever you do, the point is that IT WILL NOT LEAK with a rubber "O" ring. It's easy enough to either find one locally or call and order one. You have to take the assembly apart either way. I would fix the problem so you don't have a problem anymore. Joe
