  • Ebay Diaphragms

    Anybody seen these?

    What good are they if there isn't an easy method of removing the old ones?

    Rubber Diaphragms!

    Hey Ben,

    They show the plastic keeper ring removed, but from what I've heard folks like Ken Talbot say, is that you just stretch the old ones off, and just stretch the new ones on. However, I think that plastic ring keeps it more secure and from spinning, so it probably just needs to be popped off and then snapped back on!?

    Any body with some very old holy ones that they can't repair, that is willing to try to remove that Plastic ring to tell us how easy, hard it is, and whether it might crack or break during removal and reinstallation?

      I don't know about the difficulty of changing them, but the other day there were some on ebay for a lot less money. Search the recent threads here or do an ebay search for completed listings.
      If it aint broke....it aint mine!:(
