| I know this comes up all the time, but search didn't turn it up. What size o-ring do I want to put under the extractor, and which hardware stores carry them ? |

Drop me an email with address also. I'll send you a Viton double seal O-ring. A little dial caliper research found these for me. Since I bought a pack of 50, I have a few spares.  McMaster Carr Item Number: 6540 K117 Double Seal Viton O-Ring AS568A Dash Number 007 Unit Price $10.96 PK 1 Pk = 50 O-Rings |

I got some from a local Ace Hardware Store. Their supplier was Servalite. They didnt have the sizing system that eveyone here talks about (size #60 i belive). I picked up a few for a couple cents each.. 5⁄32I.D. × 9⁄32O.D. Width: 1⁄16 Thanks Mongo for hooking me up with the size... |

What is the right size for the Double Seal Viton O-Rings? I see two listed here and I’m not sure which is the correct or better size? Here's the sizes I got for 006 and 007 from McMaster Carr. Edit to add: I measured the extractor spring and here's what will fit the best... 007 5/32” X 9/32” 0.145” X 0.285” Just placed an order from McMaster Carr. 50 O-rings should last a lonnng time.  |

Part of learning is asking questions. Some may say the question or person asking the question is stupid but that person to his or her credit is trying to learn. What is wrong with that. Its when you stop learning from others or you need to critize others is when you are "stupid". I say ask the question and call me stupid if you like. Whatever! |
