That took longer than I’d hoped, largely due to the fact that I couldn’t find my circlip pliers… wasted about 4 hours searching through the crap in my house before giving up and sacrificing a pair of normal pliers to my angle grinder.
Anyhow, the old piston is showing signs of wear so it looks like that might have been the cause. I didn’t look too closely at the cylinder, but it’s probably time to junk it since it is the original.

Anyone know what the approved method of getting that seal on the piston is? It looked to me as if it would be easier to put it on at the spring end and wind it up the spiral, but figured that risks the rubber getting cut by the edges so I pushed it on from the lever end.
