As you might be able to tell from the second photo, the end of the new piston that goes into the housing is, in fact, rounded, but it is not exactly the same as the old one. All the dimensions look identical.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> Also, while the old piston was flat, the new piston is indented. I'm not sure why the change. Was that a technical improvement, or was it simple to save money for the manufacturer? Obviously, it would require more fluid to stay in the housing.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> All of that being said, do I simply find a way to evenly force the piston into the housing, despite the advice from the manual?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><img title="Inline image" alt="Inline image" src="cid:0386e620-c5f2-ee5f-dbb0-521213d2e9f0@yahoo.com" class="yahoo-inline-image" draggable="false" style="font: normal 13px/18px var(--yahoo-web-font-stack,Helvetica Neue,Segoe UI,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif); letter-spacing: -0.02em; max-width: 800px; width: 100%;" data-id="<0386e620-c5f2-ee5f-dbb0-521213d2e9f0@yahoo.com>"></div><img title="Inline image" alt="Inline image" src="cid:10b172f9-d0c2-695a-4d5a-8036b52c1e08@yahoo.com" class="yahoo-inline-image" draggable="false" style="max-width: 800px; width: 100%;" data-id="<10b172f9-d0c2-695a-4d5a-8036b52c1e08@yahoo.com>"><br></div></body></html>
