There are arguments on how well changing diaphragms works. I've been able to scrounge the good parts out of yard cars. New pods were ~$75 each the last I looked.

I got the instruction which said to unclip the extension arm faster. You can see that small fitting type thing in the photos. My issue is breaking the clip. I suppose if I break it I can make the connection with a rivet but I hate breaking stuff.
Replacing the rubber in the single diaphragms is a real pain in the butt. It took two to get the spring collapsed enough to fit the rubber on the plastic cap. Imo, there is no way a 20 yr old pod is going to last like one that has fresh rubber in it.
I'll figure this out and since I have extra diaphragms I'll repair a couple for sale when I get time.
