For the rubber bumper under the solenoid piston, I used a small nylon screw
and a faucet washer.
One of the sources that I read said that the accumulator piston had a
threaded hole, 3/8 24, in the top to facilitate removal with the proper
tool. Can anyone verify the diameter and thread size?
Thanks,
