Hey guys, purchased this mini ex and the swivel is leaking. Its coming from the very bottom of the machine, looks like right behind the snap ring.
I brake-cleaned and blew off the whole area. Let it sit for 12 hrs or so and then you can see it weep. Looks like someone had "siliconed" it and tried to stop it from leaking at one point.
My question is, can i just removel the snap ring and get to the seal right behind it? I have the parts diagram from the dealer and was planning on ordering just the bottom seals/ring. Does the outer case pull off or?
Let me know, never taken one of these apart but the mechanically inclined aspect i have covered :)
Thanks in advance
