>From what I know, it's difficult to rebuild the rack. As I went through 4
racks in a couple months, I can only recommend one course of action: Get
PJ Grady's rebuilt rack. These things are amazing. You won't even believe
that it's the same part. The racks are glass beaded and have all new
seals, bearings, boots, etc:

You'll be amazed.
