    Hey guys, I finally got around to replacing the seal in my leaking power cylinder and the kit I bought doesn't kit in my cylinder.
    I bought the kit from Auto Krafters and it says it should fit but the parts in the kit are very different then the faulty seal. The new kit has 3 rubber washers, 2 pieces of metal and a retainer while my original has 1 piece of rubber, 1 piece of metal with a rubber insert, a metal washer and then the retainer. My cylinder doesn't have enough room to fit all of the new seal parts.

    Anyone have a similar experience replacing the seal?

    My cylinder is stamped with "remanufactured TP H10". Is it possible this is not an original cylinder?

    thanks guys
