HWH Control manifold rebuild
Yes Curt, I had the same problem. Put hose clamps on that tighten in
the opposite direction to get the actuator twisted on the o-rings
just right. I used a feeler guage to measure the clearance between
the shoulder of the actuator and the body of the main cylinder to
determine that the connection was approximately square. So far the 0-
rings are not leaking.
About a year ago on a cold day, deployed the RR jack and the pressure
broke one of the hose clamps seperating the actuator from the main
cylinder, big mess.
