Dodgy PSE actuator success story! DIY for the win!

I let my mate do it, read online that it's easy to brake the actuators working on them.

We had a look at removing the actuator that needing welding but we felt we risked making things worse as it's mounting bolts were quite rusted.

John at Tower said he uses the tool they use to remove door cards. We prised it off gently with a screwdriver.

It felt so strongly jammed at first, we feared the problem was within the exhaust tube. Felt so solid, we panicked it could be the butterfly valve.

WD40 and plenty of it.
 
For the record - This was worth doing despite the fault, the PSE is actually louder than it ever was in my ownership. Turns out the PSE wasn't fully opening when activated.

Happy days, I reckon there's a fair few people out there running their PSE without it working completely.

Sorry about that Marty. I blame the pneumonia and an utter lack of delegation on my part :dont know:

Glad you've managed to sort the problem out and thank you for reaching out nevertheless.
 
Thanks, Alex. Thanks for your email once again, sorry to hear you've been unwell!

If I do decide to go louder, I will drop you a line.
 
You've changed ya tune! I thought you were a strictly OEM man! :lol:
