Hey Folks!
The Apeks 90deg Elbow Swivel Connector on my long hose primary looks like it needs servicing. Earlier it used to freely swing my 2nd stage into a mouthpiece down position when in the water, saving it from a freeflow whenever I removed it from my mouth and extended my hand out in a primary donate action. And on land I could rotate it around its axis to swing quietly freely with an easy tap. Now it seems to be a little stiffer and resistant to swinging around.
I am planning to open it tomorrow and swap O-rings and lube anything that needs lubing - but googling around did not throw any instructional videos and gotchas about it.
Wondering if somebody here has experience doing it and can list the sequence of steps and O-ring sizes required so that I get it right without hiccups at first try …
Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise and experience as always!
