Releaser

[western mainer]

How often do you guys rebuild your releaser? New o-rings seals?
Thanks Brian

I have had most of my Lapierre releasers (Vetical 900 tap, 5 of them) for 13 years and have never had to rebuild any of them. I did have to replace a large O-ring on a top for the cap on one of them last summer, but that is it. Keep them clean, food grade grease on all O-rings and a drop or two of oil.

I've got a Lapierre horizontal mechanical releaser. I destroyed a seal in the valve mechanism when I was cleaning it. I put a seal kit in it then and haven't had to since. That was 5 or 6 years ago. I keep it clean and use food grade grease on all of the seals except the ones for the covers. I also use Lapierre releaser oil on the float rod.

I've shipped a releaser up to Lappeirre for an off season rebuild. Mostly for resealing the bottom. I can't remember the exact price but it was under 100 bucks which I thought was completely worth it.
