    Cutting vs. Repairing - well, that's simple enough. :) Thanks.

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    I'm aching to make this work or else my time and effort has been largely (or completely) wasted. Advice on how to go about that process? AllDodge, above, has given me a link to some "chasers" that may work (still trying to determine the difference between a tap and chaser).

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    Rick, above, mentioned a tap "or better yet a chaser." So what's the difference there? One problem I've had with some of this is that I can find the exploded parts list, but when it comes to indicating the sizes of various parts, that info is left off.

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    Ah, interesting. Thanks. I'd love to get this to work. Did you look at the pics? To me it does not look too bad, but I'm inexperienced in this type of thing and it was hard to get good shots since the cylinder is still on the outdrive. I'm sure that if I went down this road, I'd have to get the...

    Volvo-Penta trim cylinder rebuild questions

    Well, I got the job done. I'm not sure what you were saying. Rotary seals? Dust seals? I'm lost. I got the rebuild kit here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334476790602 I got the job done and then may have screwed myself over at the very end by accidentally stripping the threads on the lower hose...

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    Ok, here's the reply to you (accidentally replied to myself previously - is there a way to delete?): I'm not seeing a lot because the cylinder is still on the outdrive. As mentioned, I couldn't get the pin closest to the transom to loosen up and let me get it removed and have better access...

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    You're right. I'm not familiar with thread repair. Maybe it's one of the dark arts. I'm irritated that this has happened after doing all the work to rebuild the cylinder. Probably I did it to myself.

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    Pics. Hope this helps you make an assessment. I'd certainly like to salvage the work I've done!

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    I rebuilt the starboard side trim cylinder on my Volvo-Penta SX outdrive. Seemed like I was ready to go and just needed to reattach the hoses and bleed the system. Note that I'm not really experienced in mechanical work, but there are tons of videos on everything these days and this seemed...

    Volvo-Penta trim cylinder rebuild questions

    I have an 18 ft. Four Winns bowrider with the 4.3 GL-A engine and the SX-M outdrive. I've got a leak in the starboard side trim cylinder and have purchased a rebuild kit. When getting ready to start, I noticed the port side seemed to have some sort of leak, too. But it was different. I did get a...
