manual machine rebuild

Agree buy new ones if you can

Amazon.com

I had the good fortune to run a brand new Ex-Cell-O 602, a very nice machine IMHO.

Look at Page 16 as it shows the compression sleeve fittings (farrels) No flaring tool is needed. I called them caps (memory isn't so hot sometime), but they are called compression nut and bushing. There is different sleeves, one for nylon and copper, see the pictures on page 16. As far as the wrenches go. Like JB said they are hydraulic wrenches you make out of regular 3/8" box wrenches. Like the one in your picture. Put that in a vise and mount a fiber cut off wheel in an air grinder and grind a slot in the end so you can put it over the line / pipe. I have never seen a pump with a paper filter. They normally have brass screens and a felt filter held in with a spring wire clip on the bottom of the inlet.

I have been replacing and repairing BiJur lube systems for 50+ years. Like rat 427 said you can buy new pumps on eBay. Also check prices from a few companies as some buy from Bijurdelimon and double the price. The company below is the real company.

I have also cleaned the lines out by pumping kerosene through the pump or Stoddart solvent. Then fill with Vactra 2 way oil.

Oh, didn't see this response, I'll get some Stoddard solvent and try it!

I forgot to say the tubing both Nylon and Copper is 5/32 OD not 1/8" So you need to replace the old ones with their tubing and fittings. I started to buy Meter units and accessories from Lube USA in South Carolina. They make there "stuff" in Japan and Taiwan or they used too. You buy direct and not from a dealer. There is a company who registered Bijur Lubrication and they are not Bijurdelimon, that's why I said to get a quote before you buy. I had a customer order from them and it was double the price of from the factory. Lube USA also has metric sizes for those with metric made machines. https://lube-global.com/english/product.php?ItemID=135

I could not find my metering units from this website?

There's two ways to clean out the copper lines that I use. One is, I have a air nozzle fixed up with a adapter where I can screw in the compression nut on the piece of tubing onto the air nozzle. Then shoot shop air through the line. This will generally clean out most lines with the first try. Best to remove the lines from the machine doing this. Follow this by spraying your favorite brake cleaner down each line follow by a blast of air until it's cleaned. Second method if air pressure does not work is to apply brake cleaner into the line. Do this several times to soften up any crud that may be stopping up the lines. Follow by shop air. If this does not clean out the line, time to replace the line with new tubing. Stoddard solvent? Can you even find that stuff now days? Getting hard to find the old B12 carburetor cleaner now days.

One word if advice on the the Bijur metering units, always make sure the arrow is going the correct direction for oil flow. It's real easy to put in the wrong metering unit with the oil flow arrow going the wrong direction. And there is options on what metering unit to use, especially if someone has been in there and changed some things hopefully for the better. Just because the manufacture says one thing, the guys on the shop floor installing the oiling system may/will change it using what fitting and stuff they have on hand. They will substitute and alter things when there are shortages on fittings. I know this from my own experience in year past. Ken

I agree with that regarding shop floor alterations. Not every machine will conform exactly to the manual. I’ve worked with the actual assembly drawings for machines in the past and still found differences in the way the machines were put together. Different bearings being fitted etc.
