update : opened up compressor pump last night,no cylinder wall scoring or broken rings that i can feel so far.i tried moving pistons with wooden dowel & light taps from a maul,wouldn't move.i soked with kroil & left to sit.no water or rust,this unit was pulled the day it locked up.i've never rebuilt a 2 stage but it appears that there are 2 roller bearings behind the 18" pulley that may be the issue.looks like i'll need to pull shaft after removing pully.anyone have any tips/pointers for removal and/or bearing replacement if necessary? i'm thinking if it is roller bearings i may try to source from a local shop.compressor won't be used daily,only when i need the capacity.thanks again for your replies,revg62.
