air ride compressor dyer leaks

[daboone]

My dryer is leaking from the two hoses on top. I have seen people talking about rebuilding or replaceing the o-rings in there. What exactly is involved with that? Is it better to try and replace the o-rings or try and get a used one or a new one?

I am having that same leakage. I know the dealership does not just sell the o-rings, it only comes with the dryer. Strutmasters.com sells the dryer with the o-rings for $35 plus shipping and handling. A mechanic told me that you can cut the hoses flush, and put the hoses back on, and place silicon around the connection. I am not sure if it will work, but that is what I am going to try, I will let you know if it works.
