Subject: Rebuild to replace apex seals in progress

Everything looks good except I found a broken side seal in the front of the front rotor. I had noticed a slightly higher amour of oil from the vent. Also, as expected and the reason for the full teardown following a partial teardown to replace the rear apex seals (that were all bent), I had one apex seal in the front rotor bent.

I am pleased the apex seals did not shatter and the broken side seal seem to have caused no damage.

Hopefully I will finish cleaning (very little really needed) and get it put together tonight after work. The new seals/springs and soft parts are waiting.

FWIW

Chris
