  • While you have the actuator out you might as well check the bottom diaphragms. As you can see here, they are often in much better shape.

  • However, after removing the retaining rings, you'll probably find some dirt and grit hidden beneath. This can work under the edge and cause slow leaks, leading to overnight leak-down of the system.

  • Given this, consider pulling off even diaphragms that look good to give them a gentle cleaning.

  • Re-install and grease the diaphragms as well, and then clip the retaining rings back in place.
