Any idea where I can find a rubber gasket for the top seal of the rotator housing? The old one is junk
Yeah, I just use the grease gun and spread it w/ a blade screwdriver. It doesn,t hurt to do the bearing right under the rubber boot, too.
I've seen where that pipe clamp gets oxide powder buildup.


UV really takes it's toll on those rubber boots.
I have one I thought about repairing, but it feels like another crack, may not be too far in the future.

Something would need to be fabricated, or you'd need to find a parts unit, cause CM does not offer them.
