Hi,
I just rebuilt tilt and trim cylinders because the gaskets on the top were leaking. I had to disconnect a little tube on the bottom of the tilt cylinder to pull the tilt rod out. When I was screwing it back in I accidentally cross threaded the inside thread. I fixed it with the tap tool. The nut on the end of the tube went back smoothly and tight. However, under pressure the nut leaks from outside and the center (around the tube). In the hydraulic store they recommended using a small flared gasket. See the picture. I am still waiting on my gasket. Has anyone had this issue before and knows how to fix it? Thank you!
