How to remove piston seal?

[NeilnrLincoln]

Hi all.
I've decided to overhaul/restore my old Relum telly. Stripped it down last night & the seal is in a pretty poor way. As it's riveted on what's the correct method to remove it, drill off the rivet head?
I assume the new seal kit will come with a replacement rivet?
Was planning on removing any sharp edges on the slots etc & polishing the piston before re-assembling with new springs, seals etc. Is there anything else I should be doing while it's in bits?
Thanks.
Neil.

Hi Neil,

Think the seal is riveted on, look at this thread-

It seems that if you're deft with the removal of the rivet, then you should be able to reuse it. One of the smaller piston seals that are en-route to you might fit with some persuasion...

Thanks Dave.

Has anyone else overhauled/tuned an old Relum break barrel with any tips which bits to sort out? This is my first home tuning attempt.

Hi Neil,

Browse through the idiots guide in collectables -posts 81,82 and 83 seem to be the ones you need to look at, and PM Guy (ggggr on here).
