[rebel-builders] 1800 amphibs

I suspect that squeeze is the culprit. I've never had one apart so unsure
how they go together inside. Did you not notice how the rod was attached to
the piston when you where installing new O-rings on the piston?
Also be careful if you are ordering a new cylinder from MAM. They changed
the thread diameter for the clevis to a smaller than they were before... on
the main gear cylinder.

Gentlemen I have 1800 amphibs that I've had trouble with them not holding
hydraulic pressure since new. I finally got around to isolating the
cylinders and have identified the one that's leaking internally. I took it
apart and replaced the o-rings but that made no difference. Is it possible
that it's leaking at the joint between the piston and the rod? Does anyone
know how are these two parts joined? The only other thing that's not quite
right is the piston itself isn't perfectly round it looks like someone
squeezed it in a padded vice.
