Hi Pete,
I had issues with my unit last year - luckily it turned out to be a damaged cable.
According to the manual, Quote- "these units come as a complete assembly, & no parts are available....Do not attempt to disassemble any part of hydraulic unit".etc, etc..... injury risk from high pressure.
Is it the valve stem that has broken on you????
Looks like a replacement unit is needed....but I,d be interested to hear if anybody else here has sucessfully managed to service this part.
