Any ideas? Swivel Ball Seal???   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Senior Member Username: Johnc Post Number: 492 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 11:13 am:    Probably some dirt got in between the seal and the swivel. Try washing the area well and see if it still leaks. It could also be that the seal is worn or that the swivel pins need to be adjusted. I try to take apart my swivels once a year and clean everything and replace seals if necessary. I normally replace the bearings or at least re-pack them if I know they are good.   marc waitek (Singingcamel) New Member Username: Singingcamel Post Number: 6 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 11:47 am:    look for tears swivel pin seal or a ingress of foreign material. chances are you picked up something do to your pounding around.did it leak before? could also be the seal worn i adree with john c marc   Jason Michaels (H2eater) Member Username: H2eater Post Number: 104 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 12:14 pm:    Thanks for the info guys...

The job is easy just takes all damn day if you clean everything real good.
