Air leak in 4wheel/differential lock switch

[coffeehouseforge]

Hello all,

So the new SEE has been busy working on the homestead. Pulling tree roots/stumps, digging ditches, etc. Today the switch for the 4 wheel / differential started leaking air.
I did a search here but was not able to find anything on this part. So, before I dig into this thing, does anyone have practical experience with this switch? Why it started leaking, is it repairable (clean, new seals or O-rings), ext...
Any help would be appreciated. I received manuals with the FLU419, and I am going through the 8 big maintenance binders now.
Thanks in advance for any insight and advice.

FLU419 repair 4*4 locker switch

Evening folks... My FLU419 came with a stuck 4*4 /locker switch... Pulled the knob of and put some oil on top but it was to no avail. So I removed the switch and tapped the roll pin out.. There was a lot of gunk in the mechanism and I took the whole thing apart. You can see in the detail...

So here is the issue. When I move the switch from 2 wheel to 4 wheel or Diff lock, it is leaking air in the switch? Anyone else have this problem? I guess I am pulling the switch out and taking a look. Any advice on pulling the center panel out?

If I remember correctly, I had one that misbehaved. Sprayed some lube down there and it has worked since.
That's not consistent with my luck, by the way.

Yes I get some leakage from the selector lever. Not enough to mess with.
