I've replaced the two o rings on the plunger for my topeak mini. I got the kit from chainreaction. The problem I'm having is that when pulled there seems to be a lot more resitance than there was before.

Here is a link to a diagram I found.[url= http://247cycleshop.com/shop/system/detailimage?sessid=siTX6EQTeK4rn0GiTwTC25wVaf3MbrGaXMjID6ozVau3OJ5MrhYMRx8fx2hUDVLf&shop_param=cid%3D120%26aid%3D567%26position%3Dposition1%26 ]Clicky[/url]

Any ideas? The rebuild kit was for the mini without gauge. So definitely the right stuff

Have you greased it? Add a smear of o-ring friendly grease

Greased the o-rings (not sure how friendly it was though)

Hydrocarbon based grease can cause o-rings to swell.
