Pump rebuild?
I have a Joe blow sport pump with the double head. I have always liked it. I reckon there may be different better pumps. But I like this one.
It has stopped pumping. I'm assuming some o-ring or cup has given way inside.
I've looked on the Topeak site and don't find a customer service link.
Has anyone else rebuilt a Joe blow? What should I look for?
Thanks.

iWith most floor pumps t's fairly easy to pull the piston out of the cylinder and then check the "o" ring/cup washer. Most floor pumps can have the top cap, where the piston shaft enters, removed by unsnapping it/unthreading it or by removing the retaining screw. Then pull out the piston and look at it's business end. Andy.
