Same exact thing just happened to me. Best part tho...the old o rings i took off went back to the same size as the new ones are, but the new ones once stretched don't go back at all. I guess add it to the rest of the trash being made today on chinaland...new rack it is
Those seals are made to "reshape". I had to make a tool to get mine to compress back down. They are just like sealing rings in a transmission - you stretch them to get them on, then compress them again when they are in place. I have tools for 4L60's, 4R70W's, etc. But I did not have one for my Fox rack, so I made it from some PVC pipe. Unfortunately, I lost an hour of footage when I rebuilt mine because the camera went into heat protection. BUT, I may have some pics, or may even have the tool kicking around if you need pics.
yep these are teflon seals, same thing with direct injection seals, you need to re-compress the seals with a tool (anything with a gentle radius or chamfer will do and some lube).

That's interesting. I've never heard of that before. Thanks for the tip!

That’s very helpful. Didn’t know that. Good knowledge.
Hey I told you that in confidence. You're not supposed to tell the whole internet. 😂
