 I think 165 psi. If you can find someone who has it yea it could be done. Have you checked the fluid to see if its good.

Yea you would but if the  seals are good replace fuild and have recharged.  The fuild gets burnt over the years. Did you get my messages about kn filter and cage.

Havent checked yet but il get back to you. I had to wash the oil out of the filter so I can ship it. Just get a kn recharging set to re oil it and you will have the cleaner. Advance auto has it a bunch of places have it.

just put the filter in a zip lock bag,
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"
