Hello. Used your video to change the o rings on my leaking V.P. DPSM ram. Worked out great. No more leak! Thank you from Colorado.

Thank you!! I have a 2005 Glastron with a 5L Volvo Penta. You made easy work for me although I made a bit more of a mess than you did! I used a 10mm socket inside the caps to keep the inner o-rings from traveling too far. You also mentioned a coke can for compressing those rings during reassembly. Great idea. I didn't have a can so I folded some tin foil and wrapped it around the cylinder. Just need to top off my reservoir then continue bleeding. No more leaks from the cap!

Nice job explaining everything hitting all the main points. I just did one on my old OMC Cobra, I used that tin can trick to get the part with the 2 split rings and 1 o-ring in lubing it with T&T fluid. As long as the cylinder comes apart, this is a pretty easy job. The Cobra is similar to the Volvo with a few differences in the piston rod. There's a shop in Fla that rebuilds these (you send yours and wait for them to come back) I think they charge $550 for 2, but when the OMC kit with the o-rings is only $55, it pays to know how to do this yourself.

Thanks for the comment. I agree, I used to do everything by myself

When rebuilding parts with the white retainers, we put a little Vaseline on them. (Air Force mechanic here.) I like the way you didn't remove the whole cylinder. The bolt tap trick was good too. Thanks for the good video.

Thank Al a great explanation of changing the seals and ram etc. Keep up the good work. I'm sure the dealers do it that way but charge for the complete removal. Thanjsxagain Gary Daniels

Thanks Gary. I’m keeping it real. I figure this out on my own, nobody will tell you that. Standby for more effective cheap shortcuts.

I like your video you did a fantastic job I have a 89 Fourwinds Liberator which I bought multiple Rams over the years and I have one that’s leaking I’ve watched some of the videos and I came across yours and yours was a great video and I see that you had a much more complicated ram to rebuild than the regular OMCs as I have but thanks for the video great workmanship is gonna give me the incentive to do mine😊

Those small o rings are for the the fitting that connect the lines to your reservoir, if you disconnect them.
