Nice engineering job. Couple questions/thoughts. Where did the rust come from initially? And how can it be stopped from 're rusting'? Were the shafts Chromed? Trying to recall if mine were. It's been years since I had to get into mine. Bronze bushings sometime gall up and get sticky. Wonder if a better bearing would prolong the life? Or was this caused by Oring failure? Is the Oring easily replaceable?
