[QUOTE="JJTL, post: 283631, member: 7883"] Well we spent a good amount of time using brake cleaner and compressed air on the blocked solenoid, this afternoon. There is a chance we've made progress, BUT we can't get one of the o-rings back installed to then test if the solenoid is clear. This is one of the o-rings that seals the solenoid to the top housing. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG-4554.jpg"]100385[/ATTACH] Started noticing yesterday that all of a sudden the o-rings were difficult to reinstall. Hasn't been an issue up until now, but we've spent an hour or so and cannot get it in. I'm guessing they have swelled? Does anyone have a quick tip on shrinking o-rings? Heat or cold? Once again we are all ears. Thanks in advance for your help! This seems to be one of those projects, where it's one thing after another. Fighting us a bit, but we will keep trying. [/QUOTE]
