Servicing 30-Year-Old Vetus Hydraulic Rams

Is your hydraulic steering ram leaking? Before you replace it, watch this. We service our 30-year-old Vetus hydraulic rams, demonstrating that even decades-old marine hardware can be restored to perfect, leak-free operation with new seals and proper technique. Shayne, drawing on his background as a diesel fitter, walks through the complete teardown, seal replacement, and reassembly. This video is packed with critical tips you won't find in the manual: how to handle the unique wire-lock end caps, the crucial difference between lip seals and O-rings, why seal direction is everything, and how to avoid destroying new seals on sharp edges during installation. Learn the right way to tackle this job and save thousands on a new ram.
