Thanks, Brad. I forgot to mention that I'm in Victoria, BC, so I'd prefer to find someone local. I read over this article, and think I will inspect the rod to check for any damage first, as it sounds like that will necessitate a replacement vs. just new seals. With the number of C&Cs in the area, I suspect a local shop will be able to do it.
