Gary,
Scroll down there should be an exploded cross section of the actuator.

Hi Eric:
I did receive the picture of the actuator and found that it is the same as the one posted in the photos section. I was hoping perhaps for a mechanical exploded diagram or parts list etc. Thanks for sending the picture and replying. When I tear this down I will take some photos and post them along with o-ring sizes etc.

Gary,
My problem was that the brake would not hold the disk.
I also changed the brake pads.
Yes the fluid is in the end closest to the brake pads. The spring should be dry.
The O rings are off the shelf rings.
I would just remove the unit and bring it to a place that sells o rings and replace them all. That is what I did.

Eric:
Ah Ha! Found it. It looks like all the seals/o-rings are on the plunger end and that there is no seal on the end cap where the adjusting bolt goes. In fact, based on that diagram, there should be no hydraulic fluid in the cavity with the spring. Do you concur? I'll try to figure out what the following seals or O-rings means:
porteurs 2.5 X 5
porteurs 62/20X2.5X5.6
CSC 20X26X5.5
EVCO RSE 74X65/4X8
What were the symptoms of your system that warranted your changing the spring?
Did Amel have a kit of seals/O-rings?
Thanks Eric. Sorry to have not seen the page 2.

Gary,
It was a while ago.
However I believe they were just regular O tings. I would go to a hydraulic shop that does cylinders for bulldozers etc. they have the big rings.
If you are in Sint Maarten, FKG has a great hydraulic shop. The also made me a hose for my stove covered in braided steel and then rubber.
They also made watermaker hoses for me with hydraulically swaged fittings and 2 hoses for the actuator on the brake.

Hi Eric: Thanks for the confirmation of what I am seeing in the diagram concerning all the seals and hydraulic fluid being in the end nearest the brake pads. From your experience were there just o-rings on that business end or were there lip or other types of more complex seals that I will need?
Is the diagram posted on this site somewhere?
All the best,
