As title really, my Joplin is leaking air on the poker seal so it needs a seal change or just good clean, but this means removing the seal head….
I’m not going to invest any more in it as it’s been back to 2pure a number of times and the warranty has now expired so I’ going to have a go myself rather than selling it for spares. I’ve tried making a tool to remove the seal head using a flat drill bit (per thread on here) and it’s not strong enough to undo the head.
So my next idea is to unscrew the head of the post, as looking at the exploded diagram it’s just on a thread with green loctite to hold it in place and this will give me access to the poker seal.
Obviously I’ll empty the oil and de-pressurize before trying to get the head off, but before I start has anybody tried it before and can offer any tips?
The only problem I see really is how to grip the post, Ill remove the seat clamp and pass a bar through the head to turn it.
