I am wondering if anyone has re-built theirs or just replaced it. The cylinder exterior, fittings, reservior all look new so I'd like to re-build as opposed to replace.

Any hints? Do I need a press etc.?

Should I attempt?

Thanks

It's very easy. All you need is a couple of wrenches and a garbage pail. Wrenches to remove and replace the old one with a new one and a garbage pail to put the old one into.
