Hi guys, my beloved B26 TLB with 200 hours just sprung a leak in the backoe controls. I removed the housing and built a temporary wood support so I can have full access. I wiped down everything and went to work with my ghetto setup. After about 10 mins I could see oil drops from two places.
First leak is on top of the right outrigger valve. It leaks around the metal shaft that activate the valve.
Second leak is on the bottom of the thumb valve. There are drops of oil forming on the bottom hex bolt head and also runing down the metal shaft that activate the valve.
I hope my pictures will bring some clarity.
I have never messed around with valves in the past, is that as easy as removing the cover ,changing a seal or O-ring or is it more involving that that.
Thx for your help.
