Thread: ARB Compressor Rebuild

Well after the past 45 mins being spent trying to find somewhere that stocks what I need; I gave up and went to Bunnings. They had 262 and 243. After reading the back I got the 243. It says the breaking torque is 20Nm, and Im only sposed to do them up to 11Nm so I thought that would do?

Well

Just got it finished and all put back together. Too be honest looking back, I dont think it really needed rebuilding Guess I now have spare parts

But I guess its an insurance policy, new Defender, (near) new compressor

The parts I got worked out about $70, the most expensive being the cylinder and piston.





Fitting back together





Exhaust Valve in


Inlet Valve in


Head bolts in


The three bolts I mentioned in the first thread


More precision than a hacksaw


Cut and fitted (sorry forgot to take an after picture in the vice)


Filter on


All back together




And lastly next on the list
