Little o-ring maintenance/replacement on Olympus housings

[rhlee]

Is there any information (or other SB threads) about maintaining the little O-rings and springs and buttons, etc... on the olympus housing? I'm asking because my housing is more or less discontinued, and it occured to me that when the little o-rings aroudn the buttons fail, I'll have no idea what to do.

Do people lube them regularly? I currently do nothing for them (other than a good long FW soak). Are they user-replaceable?

thanks.

I use a PT-015. I used this rig in about 60 dives. I followed the suggestions of other friends on the forum like Dee or Gilligan. After I wash the housing, I put a drop of food grade silicon on each small button and I push it a bit few timed to allow the silicon to reach the o-ring. Simple and till now effective.eyebrow
