Installing a piston seal - The Super Easy Way
jfrey:
Found this idea on youtube. It works!!!! Piston seals just snap in place. No soap, no boiling water, no problem. They guy in the video uses the cap from a bottle of locktite which I didn't have so I searched around my house and ended up using the cap from a standard Sharpie permanent marker to install the piston seal on my air hawk. The Sharpie cap is just a little to small to be perfect but worked well enough that I stopped looking for something better.

Nice video, simple, short, & sweet.

That's brilliant. Worth buying a bottle of Lock-tite just to get the cap.
Seems like someone with a lathe and some delrin could fab up something pretty easily.
Thanks for posting that...extremely useful trick.

Very resourceful! I have a bottle of locktite and will save it for such an occasion!

That is fantastic !! It should be made a "Sticky".
