Hi,
My Porter has so many miles on her that that she looks
like a steamer with the cylinder cocks always wide
open. The dilemma is how to remove the connector
pieces from the cylinder shafts to remove and replace
the O-rings. Appears to be a press fit but with the
loco long out of production I don't want to apply too
much force and forever sideline her because of a
broken rod connector.
Has anyone else had to replace the cylinder shaft
O-rings ? If so, how did you go about doing it ?
Thanks,
