Rebuild or replace HSD for B2710

[Pete F]

My HSD is apparently shot and now I'm trying to decide whether I can rebuild it myself or not. For anyone who has done this or is familiar with it, what part within the HSD usually is the failure and to rebuild myself, would I need any specialized tools that are not readily available?

Thanks in advance
Pete

As tough as it is to get to... do you really want to risk trying to rebuild yourself and coming up short and still not have it operational. If you can do all the work, if it was me, I'd spend the extra bucks for a new hydro unit.
There is one other option that comes to mind.... Remove the old hydro unit and have it professionally rebuilt. There is at least one reliable shop around me that can do this. It's certainly going to be more than if you rebuild and do the work yourself however, it could be significantly cheaper than a new unit.
