In this video I rebuild my Craftsman 5HP 30gal model 919-165300 oil free air compressor for ~$47 USD. This is a ~12 year old compressor that could no longer get up to press and would have cost over $350 to replace.
You will need a long Torx T20 driver if you don't want to hack up your cover.
I ordered my repair kit from: www.searspartsdirect.com
You can also get most rebuild kits on eBay from NOS people have purchased and warehoused. Just search your model and you'll find most.

Appreciate your efforts to video record the rebuild, nice job. I didn't see you mention the size of the Torx screws, and it was a shame you sawed the cowlings apart the way you did. The cowling uses T-20 torx. I took a T-20 torx tip, mounted it in the extension that came with the set and that fits into a 1/4" socket. I used a 1/4 ratchet with a long , around 6", extension and taped this extension together with the short extension that came in my screw tips kit. It fit just fine inside the tunnel and reached the screw with no problem. It took me less than five minutes to assemble the tool, try three torx tips until I found the one that fit, the T-20, and then remove the three T-20 torx screws, two short with small O-ring on each of them and one longer screw in the front and did not have to destroy the cowling covers. Didn't need much patience, just work with what I had.

I can confirm the Craftsman T style handle torx (T20) is definitely long enough! I also didn't remove either end of the line but was careful not to bend it too much when removing the head. Thanks for the video.

Great, great video! Eloped me tremendously. Thank you. The one item I will contribute is that the Torx screws holding the cover on are T15s. I jammed my screwdriver into the hole and with the handle about a 1/4 inch into the hole, I was able to engage the screws and back them out without cutting the plastic. A telescoping magnet got them out and all is well. Thanks much. I'm compressing air again.

Decent video...helpful. I chose to not cut the cover up, but replace the screws with Philips head for the next guy! I also took the baffles out , gave them a good cleaning, & a light smear of gun oil before reassembling. Did the same on the new piston ring. One thing I did notice worth mentioning. The inside of my chamber & cylinder was nastie and, at least some of the gunk in there was the old foam air filter that had dried out and got sucked into the intake. (pieces of it were embedded into the cylinder wall). I made a new filter from a scotch-brite sanding pad...again applying a thin coating of gun oil. Put it all back together and in just over 2 minutes had 120lb of pressure. Well worth the effort and cost of the re-build kit!

Very well presented, this is a credit to yo. I bought my first compressor (Fiac made ine italy) last year and I accidently knocked it over a few days ago. I cracked the casting where the plastic cover screws on and shore off alot of blades from the fan. without knowing the fan was wrecked I kept running the compressor & a few hrs later I realised why the pressur was slow to build. it overheated. Hopefully I will be able to salvage it. Thanks for the good demo

Todd, thanks for posting this video and the links. I have one of these compressors with an up-right tank which still in good shape, but it probably won't hurt to get a repair kit before they become unavailable, since Sears is slowly going out of business. One tip I l like to suggest to compressor users is, to keep the pressure around 100 pounds. Hardly any shop tools operate over 90 pounds, and unless one needs more pressure, which may happen occasionally, then it can be cranked up to the desired pressure without exceeding the compressor's capacity, of course. This will prolong its life. Thank you again.

Well, I found the problem. One of the little fan blades had broken off and got wedged through that compres ring/seal on the edge of the piston. The good news is that the actual piston cylinder looked remarkably clean. Thanks again for all the help!

Sir, your video still serves after 8 years. My compressor's Fan blade exploded and I couldn't see or find any socket size to fit those housing screws. In your video you said they were torx head. I ran back outside and bingo! I used a 1/4" deep socket for the bit and a 1/4" driver. No problems after that. I did however, scratch the torx size into the plastic housing for my future reference. I have a new fan blade ordered and hope to be back up and running soon. Thank you for the vid!

Nice repair video. You are the first one I encounter to mention the various torc values. You mentioned that the piston should stay straight, but in operation it will tumble also to the left and the right due go the fact that piston and its rod are one part and does not contain an extra bearing as a car or motor engine do in combination with exentric on the crankshaft. Due to the wobble and the lack of lubrication the ring on the piston will have extra wear and tear.

I have a couple reed valve compressors for portable use, its a good idea to get these replacement parts ahead of time. the big shop compressor is made from a refrigerant head out of a produce warehouse from the '50s. its on a boiler tank and connected to 100gal propane tanks in the corners behind the doors and in the rafters above the bays and bench, plumbed with commercial overhead door torsion spring tubing ( all the unloader valves were a little expensive, dontcha love getting around them payments lol. nice job, found the fan I needed by watching your video.

What an excellent tutorial. I own the same compressor, and to tell you the truth I'm hoping to upgrade for better cfm to run air sanders and high output devices. Mine won't die, I've had it for nearly two decades and its going strong. These craftsman compressors were really well designed and manufactured. I wish they didn't have a 1/4" bottleneck in the line, though I suppose other things would fail if that problem were solved. I can't believe my tank hasn't rusted out yet.

OBTW: The cover is important to air flow ...without it the inlet pipe and head get very hot in short order. Besides being a burn hazard, I would think the additional heat build up at the head will not promote long life for the graphite ring in the compression chamber. Also Amazon has the parts cheaper than sears ...(who may no longer even have the rebuild kit.) Sears does not sell the regulator valve any longer for this and some of the replacement ones claiming to be "4 port" actually only read regulated pressure at both gauges. If you want both you will have to do a little extra plumbing. Harbor Freight has a decent regulator for around $14 so don't spent $60 on a 4 port that is really a 3 port!

I did the piston ring and gaskets for the head and I thought sure that would fix it because it had no resistance when moving up and down in the cylinder but it still doesn't build up over about 40 psi. I didn't check the reed valves so I will check all that next. Mine is a Craftsman 30 gal 919.167320 but the motor looks the same as mine.The head piston and everything. I have no leaks anywhere so maybe it is the reed valves. Thanks for the video, it is a great help.

Thanks for making this video. Now I have a idea as to how these things work. Yesterday I flipped the compressor on. And it ran for 30 min or so and only got up to like 30 lbs. So after watching this I tore it apart. And the little fins were rusted that compress the air. Almost like part of them were gone. New parts $70. It not cost effective. Just so happened I had a old junk compressor. It had a bad power switch. So I spent last night tearing them apart and by this morning I have a compressor that runs about 5 min. And gets up to 100 lbs of air pressure. Thank you for posting. It does look a little funny but it works.

Tom Bosley Not sure this is the correct Tom. If so, your setting don't allow me to reply to your KZbin comments. It would be very hard to help but I wouldn't see a problem replacing both the run and start compositors if you're just replacing parts as trouble shooting. They don't cost much and it sounds like you have replaced one of the caps already. I'm sure if the compressor is mostly full the torque needed to get it going is much higher than when the tank is empty and a functional start cap would solve that problem buy provided that needed start torque for the motor to get going under load.

@Hammond, make sure you can empty the tank by opening the drain and let it drain empty. Then plug it in and see if it will fill in ~3 to 5 minutes. If it can't then it will need to be rebuilt but you don't know what needs to be rebuilt so $100 might be a bit too much if you're looking at another $100 in parts maybe more.

Good job brother. I feel your pain in the hot garage (south fl) and having to drink something to cool it off. Keep it up.

I just did this on mine tonight. Same compressor except the next size larger tank. It was taking nearly 4 minutes to go from empty to cutoff pressure. Now it’s taking 5 seconds longer! I can’t imagine what I did wrong. Used new seals on the tube, etc.

Thank you. I will check that, I was wondering about the refill time. I am assuming that $100 is a good price for a compressor this size, although old, based on the age of other listings in the area, assuming it will not need repairs.

Just a heads up. Many times you can use a hex key/Allen wrench, instead of a Torx, as long as it's not too tight. Thanks for the video.

Good video. Covers all the questions I would have about the repair. Hopefully parts will still be available if Sears goes under.

Getting where parts for these old units are getting harder to fine. But I also notice that as this does happen with the manufactures they must auction off all the warehouse stock and then eBay'ers buy it and then keep it in the market chain for quite a long time so it might all be good so long as that stock doesn't run out.

I don't remember when I bought mine, I'm thinking 1995 or 1996 and I've never done any maintenance on it at all - just turn it on and use it. I always incorrectly assumed that it was "maintenance free." By some miracle mine is still actually working, but I plan on taking it apart and giving it a good once over and maybe even do the "fix" you've done here

@komp, I guess those items must be working for me, no problems here. If you have any details on how to perform those tasks please post in the comments. Thanks.

That was well done... Thanks! Its a shame i bought a cheap speedway compressor with oil that crap lasted less than 3 months of spraying paint... Wonder if i can keep my 8 gal tank and put a craftsman motor on that....

@Hammond, Yes that is a good price if it is 100% otherwise it would be best to try to get it for $25 or $40 because some repairs can be expensive and if you have to spend a lot you might as well just get a new $300 compressor.

Very interesting. I'm pretty sure your cylinder is scored that bad because it's not protected under by a case. The cooling fan blow directly dust under the piston where abrasion is doing its job on the cylinder wall. lubed compressors do not have this problem. Maybe you can reduce wear with a good air filter (a real one made of paper like on cars)

I'm sure you're right about the dirty air under the piston skirt but that is how these operate. They last about 10 years+ so no completes. Just have to rebuild them 2 or 3 times during their lifetime. I wish I could afford a nice big oiled twine 240v compressor but this one is very portable and only a 1/4 of the price. I did convert the intack to a replaceable can filter with a proper pleated paper filter.

Great video, ok I have a question if you don’t mind; I have a compressor that sometime cut out on me. The setting for psi is about 180psi sometime it would get there, but most of the it would cut out and cause the breaker in the house to trip. What do think is the cause of this? Thanks for your feedback.
