Anybody done it? Both mine were leaking and I had the drive side replaced and thinking about trying to rebuild the right side myself. It seaps and the joystick is loose compared to the new one. A new pilot valve is around 900 but not sure how much a rebuild would be if I did it myself or if it's worth just buying a new valve.

The clearance can be adjusted to tighten up the joystick.
The seeping is probably from the plungers. You can get a kit for it or you can try and match up some seals.

I think so. Lift the boot , there should be a jam nut on the joystick to loosen and turn the disk above the plungers down. Not 100 percent sure , its been a while since I did one.
