Dear I want to know that which seal was damage or down. When you again assemble without this seal. Without this seal it should working properly. Please reply my comment. I am waiting.
Thank you, I would say just a little bit more than a quarter of a quart. I normally fill it up about half way. It just needs enough oil to fill up the inner cylinder so it doesn't need to be full.
Just wanted to thank you for the video. I was told by another beauty supply company just to toss the pump in the garbage as it's "sealed and not serviceable."
No problem, thank you for watching. Normally that first seal we removed in the first 4 minutes of the video is the only one you need to replace. You'll know the difference buy if the chair is losing pressure, if it's anything like it's getting stuck when you pump it or you feel particles in the pump when you push it. Then you might need to go a little bit further and drain the whole pump.
@@TheSalonChairGuys Do you sell or have a line on replacement o-rings? I'm working on Minerva MK-10U hydraulic pump. If you dont do you have a suggestion on where to purchase aftermarket seals? replacement pump online runs $135 plus shipping at moment. Really want to avoid extra cost. Thanks God Bless. Your work looks awesome and thanks for video.
Thank you for the video . Never thought of doing any maintenance on them. Have one for over 20 years and it won't go down. Holds up and locks perfect but won't release down. I have to push it very hard on it to get it to slowly go down. And this chair holds over 300lbs weight. Expensive chair. But worked for years . I also found some oil released here and there for a while. Any suggestions would be much appreciated before I tackle it down. Thanks
If you take the cap off of the pump it sounds like the yolk, the u-shaped piece might be off centered. But it's hard to tell from the description. Hope it helps
@@TheSalonChairGuys I appreciate the reply. I will have to look at it and take the cap off to see. I know the pedal is pushing on the piston centered. I checked tonight that. Pushes it all the way down and then if I force push more which I will have to stop or I may break it, it goes down slowly slow. I don't understand the term yolk . I apologize for that. But if you mean I have to open it up then that is where the ushape yolk you refer to ,may be something to look at as well? I see it's a pretty simple piston design. But this will be my first time. And maybe start doing maintenance on the chairs too. It Never even pondered on me about it. Thanks a lot. Hope I make sense. But then I don't know what to ask or call these parts names.
Thanks for the video. The problem with my chair is when a person is sitting I can not lift the chair. But when no one is sitting I manage to lift the chair. what could be the problem? One of the gaskets ?? O RING?
Hi I'm helping my neighbor, who needs to replace the flange that's attached to the chair bottom. Is there a link to a supplier who might have such a thing?
Hi Thanks for your video. At 7:04 , I couldn't see you place the steel ball into the cylinder . Did you put it in after you put the spring in? Does it sit on top of the spring? Thanks for helping!
@@TheSalonChairGuys Thank you for your reply . After changing o rings, hydraulic fluid and reassemble , my chair was able to be pumped up but unfortunately it wouldn't come back down no matter how hard I try . Do you know what could be the reason?
Hey, so I've got a salon chair that leaks at the piston and will be ordering replacement o-rings online. Piston diameter measures 1.025". Should I get o-rings with 1", 15/16" or 7/8" ID? Thank you.
It's really hard to tell, because the equipment is made in countries that use both metric and and imperial so the sizes are all over the place. Is best to try to match it using the existing seal. This is the reason it makes it really difficult to recommend a size for seals.
@@TheSalonChairGuys Existing o-ring seals measure pretty close to 1" ID. That's only ever so slightly smaller than the piston's 1.025" diameter measured using a caliper. I noticed that the piston never had any resistance or drag as I was sliding it up and down the collar/housing. Thinking 15/16" ID (0.938") o-rings should provide a better seal than the old ones, perhaps.
hello, I was tightening the bolts from the bottom round plate. I tilt the chair sideways, didn't realize that the fluid was coming out. now it doesn't go up, all we hear is air. any suggestions will be appreciated, don't want to buy a new chair...thank you
@@arisppp3030 I have the same problem with my new barber chair. Ive been trying to search for videos to solve this problem but seems like there’s no way of fixing this..
You are correct we did not. That is not an o-ring but a stopper that sits at the bottom of the piston. It's there to stop the piston from hitting the bottom of the base. Some older hydraulic pumps either don't include it or instead used a plastic/rubber stopper or a metal spring, the problem is the stopper disintegrates over time and the particulates get into the hydraulic fluid and clog up the system. Most of the time this is the problem and not an o-ring failure. If you ever step on a hydraulic pump and it feels like it's grinding or pushing little pieces of sand through it. Then that's your problem.
Do i have to follow all thise steps to take that pole out. Im a bit confused because i have a chair that u can pull it up and the pole comes out attached to the bottom of chair. So now i have a broken hydraulic pump and i cant seem to get the pole to come out with the chair
Some chairs do have the pole attached to the bottom of the seat and you can just pull those up and use a dental pick to pull out the seals, but keep in mind we don't recommend attempting a repair based on this video.

Thanks, that’s a great video. How much oil do I put in my Chair please? Is the quantity just enough to cover something in the cylinder?
Thank you, I would say just a little bit more than a quarter of a quart. I normally fill it up about half way. It just needs enough oil to fill up the inner cylinder so it doesn't need to be full.
I've got one base that won't pump up and one that doesn't go down at all .. when you push pedal down can't even push cylinder down... Any ideas?😊
Hey thanks for the great content! Where can I buy the O-Rings and gaskets for the salon chair? Thank you
Hey, thanks. You can likely get them at your local seals and gasket seller. They should have the correct sizes.
@@TheSalonChairGuys thank you.
@@TheSalonChairGuys you guys should make a online course on how to repair them chairs
Where do I get seals to do a repair? Is there a repair kit? I have some Belvedere chairs that need new seals.

Good video but at what point did you replace the rubber gasket that you removed at 5:07
Thanks sir
Hey thanks for your effort and uploading the video
Que paso con la pieza que muestra en el minuto 5,20, la remplazo, no veo que la coloque de nuevo.
Hi Thanks for your video. At 7:04 , I couldn't see you place the steel ball into the cylinder . Did you put it in after you put the spring in? Does it sit on top of the spring? Thanks for helping!
Yes we did put it back in the cylinder, and you're right it sits on top of the spring. We usually use a pair of tweezers so it didn't video correctly.
@@TheSalonChairGuys Thank you for your reply . After changing o rings, hydraulic fluid and reassemble , my chair was able to be pumped up but unfortunately it wouldn't come back down no matter how hard I try . Do you know what could be the reason?
@@domjun1 There are Probably particulates at the bottom of the hydraulic base that are interfering with the fluid flow.
@@domjun1did you resolve the issue was it the particles inside the cylinder?
What happened to the piece that shows at minute 5.20, I replace it, I don't see that it is placed again.
It was replaced with a silicone stopper you can find them at Lowe's

If your gasket and seal company doesn't have a caliper you should probably invest in one if this is something you're going to do often.

What size of hexagonal wrench is the one that loosens the long Cylinder Bolts?
i want to know also
It probably varies with the type of chair. When I did this for my husband, it was an 8mm.
If I repair a piston, it is 500 pounds equal to that one and goes up and down but it does not have the strength to raise the person. What is it?
Hydraulic seal

Hi and thanks for your message. It's kind of hard to determine the problem but if it's not losing pressure then try lubricating the piston.
@@TheSalonChairGuys The chair only makes a sound when there is a load of people, Like the sound (tuktuktuk) what's the problem
Unfortunately it sounds like you're hydraulic seals are failing.
