Sorry that was unclear, yeah, the piston seals.

I've had my Compressa for ~1.5 years with original seals, no problems. I have a set of the new greaseless seals, which I'll use when I need to replace the original ones. But I don't plan to replace until I start seeing issues traceable to the old ones wearing out.

Same here. My Compressa is 13 months old, I bought a set of greaseless seals when they were first released, but my original seals are still performing great so I'm holding off on replacing them.

OK cool, I figured it wasn't a problem to wait. Are you guys buying his tool? I saw it was released in the last month or so.

I'm waiting until I have a few more things to order, to save on shipping, but yes, I'll be getting the sleeve pulling tool as well as the piston seal tool. Those look to make the job much easier.

Haha, yeah, both of those plus 2 water filters = $200 order. /sigh

For the few times I expect to change piston seals, I came up with using the plastic cap of a shaving cream can. It works better than the two Allen wrench idea.

I bought a small whisk that I'm 90% sure would work, but I'm finding the idea of getting something specifically made for the job too tempting to pass up.

New seals, as in the Londinium greaseless piston seals?

I just went to order this, but it has a 'do not use with rotary pump machines' warning. I'm assuming it's a non-issue because the pump isn't operating for a full shot, nor at 9 bar?

This is absolutely NOT the right filter, do not buy this one.
