Now go out and buy a big wire brush and some scouring pads and clean the

sealing rings. But it all has to be shiny clean.



Do you really think it can be resealed to 5 bar tested?
Safely?


Not disagreeing, just curious.


Depends on how competent the OP is, although the banding does a lot of the
work in pulling the two bits back together again, and as long as the correct
seals are used, then it is a job that can be done by someone who's good with
their hands and head (as in a bit of brain power). :-))
