I could use one, as mine is getting old. Email me Trueblu888@aol.com. How much and where are you?

I too have the same problem that just started. The part number for the vacuum cyl. I have is 129-800-16-72 and my dealer in the Denver Metro (Murray Motors Imports) list price is $169.92. They seem to imply that I need to replace the whole lock (with the vacuum cyl attached) which cost $514.80. I think the parts guy was confused. Does anyone rebuild these things. I would think a seal kit would be cheaper and easier.

Dennis charges $30 @ cylinder + $10 shipping. Send him both latch cylinders. If one is leaking, the other will also. just a matter of time. If your latch assemblies are shot, I've got a front pair still under MB Warranty that you can have for 1/2 whatever today's list price is from MB.

Once I make the replacement, though, is there any need to have additional hydraulic fluid added? If so, where is this done?
