i just remembered that if your ram was bad you would get a leak from your cocking noid

If you want switch the front and back QEV's and if it still leaks then the o-ring rebuild will be needed. If I'm not mistaken Vegard the belsales/nexus ram o-rings are size 003 on the shaft.

Heres a disassembly video if you have never taken a nexus ram apart.

just get more soap and water

Will do

No leak from the noid, so back to QEV fixing it is.

I think I'm going to replace that o-ring just to be safe, never had one apart before I started this thread, I was surprised at its simplicity.
Always expected to find a goblin or two in there, or maybe their absence is why it isn't working properly; hmm..

I agree that you should inspect the ram (as indicated above). If you want to really get into a QEV rebuild, here's the link: http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=1657427
Hope it works out.

Trying to get an ego diaphragm so I don't have to shell out $25 for a pack of ten.

Rebuilt the ram and let the qev loctite cure for a week and it still leaks.
How do I crack open the qev to replace the diapragm?

[Darkapollo]

You kind of ruin the qev when they are opened up..
Put it in a vice (soft jaws) with the rear facing up
Use a vice grip to twist off the back cap (maring the **** out of the cap..)
Replace diaphram, noting orientation
Put loctite on back cap
Replace back cap.
It wont tighten down as far as it was previously.

Well that's bad news.. They aren't exactly easy to find in the bluish black dc2 colour :|
