We have a few questions for anyone that can help, and thanks in advance:
We're starting rebuilding our T5C - one of the outriggers - because that has a leaking hydraulic line
and is probably the best one to learn on.
Got the cylinder off and lines out.
1. Does the factory sell complete kits to rebuild all the cylinders on a T5C or are they ordered individually only?
2. I got the steel retainer wire started out OK but didn't want to go further until I know if it comes out before or after the end retainer plate with the spanner holes
3. This summer we took out the 3 pins on each outrigger, cleaned them good and greased well with new zerk fittings. Now - a few months later it took a LOT
of heavy pounding to get one of the pins out. After cleaning up, can I use a coating of NeverSeize or is there a better lube that will keep the pins free?
4. Is there some commercially available sleeve type material to put around the hoses where they rub against frame etc. to protect them. I see some old ones
that look like canvas but large - for 3 or 4 hoses; pretty shot but still holding.
Thanks again;
