I’m not sure is the piston seal was poor quality or I’ve damaged it, but the seal didn’t last long with this particular rebuild. I have a brand new unit on its way then I’ll rebuild this one again as a spare
You missed pulling the electric motor cover off and giving a good blast off with Contact Cleaner while you are there. They are filled with carbon dust and you can give the brushes a bit of light sand paper. Worth doing although I learnt this news also after doing a rebuild on mine. I've done it on a spare unit and its a simple job.
Greetings from cold Canada, I know this is a bit late, but I spilled my desiccant on my workshop floor so I regenerated the old desiccant in a 3-minute high microwave and then for 1 hour at 350 F
Thanks for the comment Mark, that would certainly work to dry it out. Many industrial air dryers I’ve worked around do a similar thing. Regen using hot air in a reverse flow through the dryer
Yep, I deserve that comment😄 But on the flip side it’s not like these things are exactly a precision setup as they are fairly rough considering how much a new one costs
Thanks for the video! The dual metal plate round filter with all the little holes in it is filled with that old crusty white powder do I need to remove it all before I refit
@Shanes_Shed it seems if you clean it out entirely then there's no way for the new 0 ring to sit around anything.. I'f u know what I mean it would just be loose
There's a filter pad between the metal plates - From memory the factory filter has a rivet holding them together. In the past I've separated the two plates and put in a new filter pad - then bolted them together with a new oring.
Hey mate, just bought a v8 SE 2005 D3. You videos are great, heaps of good detail. Mines got low kms but as soon as I bought it, it’s already needing a couple of coils so figured a good idea to get into the rest of the maintenance stuff too. Probably should check the pump! How did you know yours needed a rebuild of more of a cautionary thing?
So glad the people are finding my videos usefull, thank you for the kind words. This particular pump just failed to build pressure and at the time I just ordered the normal rebuild kit before I pulled it out. Once I stripped it however I found the bad wear in the piston and cylinder - thought Id attempt the new rings/seals but they failed so I ordered a complete replacement compressor as I needed to be 100% sure of having everything working.

Great Video Shane! It’s great to have the confidence to rebuild mine myself after watching you rebuild one.
No worries champ, it's what the videos are here for😄
Thank you from the USA
We have never been in lockdown in Florida
Best Covid rates here
Somehow I missed this video too. I’ll be doing this job in the coming weeks now. Thanks!

Hi Richard, good point. I still need to add the desiccant to the compressor so I'll have a look at it then

Excellent video, thanks mate!
Yeah no worries, thanks for the comment.
Hammering that aluminium piston against the edges of steel vice jaws made me wince. Use a wooden block at least.

Good video Shane, I'd say probly the most informative I've seen for you compressor on TH-cam 🤙
Thanks Rylan👍
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Doesn’t hurt to give it a wash out. When the dust migrates it’s way into the solenoid valves they can start to leak.
