You can rebuild them. Of course you have 4 so it is going to sting a little bit. :D
Take them apart and see what you need. Bam has the rebuild kits and the part that I linked you to before is what is likely bound up on your set up. They can be honed out some times but you will probably find that things are scored up a little bit. I am trying to find out what the difference is on the Bravo set ups so that maybe I can jsut get some of those. They may work and should be easier to find. I know that when a buddy of mine was in a bind I gave him a TRS cylinder to put on his Alpha and it worked fine just a little longer. Jon |
I'm pretty sure these are the internal ones. The lines screw in right the mount point.
Jon I was wondering about bravo's. These are so locked up there has to be some scoring inside. I tried to unscrew the end off last night with a pipe wrench and a breaker bar, and it wouldn't budge. That is how they come apart right? |

I just threw him an offer. We'll see what happens. Thanks Jim |
U can buy all the o-rings at the local hardware store for 80 cents each !!!!!!
And flush the lines, 1200 sandpaper the rams and stick them back together !!!!!:rolleyes::eek: Thats how easy it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:food-smiley-007: PS, i just rebuilt mine on the Speedmaster for not even 10 Dollars and 1.1/2 hours of my time !!!! :ernaehrung004: Scott |
That's how they come apart all right.I put the end that the lines screw into in a BIG vice Ive got.Then unscrew the cap with a BIG pipe wrench.If all you needed was the O-ring kits it would be one thing but if you have to start replacing parts it could get expensive real quick.The cylinder sleeve inside those which the pistons actually ride in are over $100.Those trim cyls.before they became NLA were $900 each.I seen reproductions which you can get now for $725.Sounds like your on the right track.You could probably find someone who would want them old ones for parts!You may even be able to take them all 4 apart and make a couple of good ones.

Are they backwards thread or standard? Am I'm glad to hear a big vice and big wrench. I put some decent pressure on it and when it didn't budge I kinda had to scratch my head.
EBay guy doesn't really wanna sell them to me because I've never purchased or sold anything on EBay. I'm just a buy in person kinda guy and never wanted to wait on the EBay thing. Daredevil do you have some for sale? |
Sorry,,,i have 1 set of # 3,4,5 rams for sale ,,but no TRS !!
|
Standard thread;Lefty loosey-righty tighty
|
Standard thread as others have said. Heat is your buddy with this one. Heat up the cap and don't be afraid to try hard.
|
i have bravo rams on my trs its been a while i think a couple lines had to be changed and some aluminun on the case had to be cleaenced a little for the external line.
