Title: Leaking fitting
Post by: Mike Halliday on December 04, 2016, 09:07:26 am

Anyone rebuilt this high pressure fitting on a hose reel, it's leaking.

Mike , you can remove the circlip but they don't last long after as they usually leak when the shaft wears and as they are not expensive treat yourself to a new one. Hold the reel and undo the hex - refitting is merely the reverse of removal !  Ben will do them but this is similar - you will want 3/8" probably

I think you are right, I will just buy some new ones, the reel has 2 of these fittings I think I will replace both of them. Although the one I pictured does not need to move so I might just remove it and fit the hose direct to the reel
