It restores the sealing surfaces inside the cylinder that wear over time from normal steering use, water intrusion, and age, which can lead to hydraulic fluid leaks, spongy steering feel, or loss of steering pressure. The kit includes two metal, round seal glands, a pin wrench, and a seal gland assembly guide tool, giving an installer everything needed to remove the old glands and seat the new ones correctly without damaging the O-rings during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHS5157 is designed for SeaStar front mount cylinders including the HC5340, HC5341, HC5342, HC5343, HC5344, HC5345, HC5346, HC5347, HC5348, HC5358, HC5365, HC5375, HC5394, and HC5445 series, as well as the HC6750 through HC6755 series. This covers threaded-end-gland cylinders, pivot cylinders (including Honda 115-130 and OMC-specific applications), and compact cylinders. A related kit, HS5167, uses the same seal glands and guide tool but ships without the pin wrench, so buyers who already own a wrench or prefer to source one separately have that option under a different part number. Always confirm the cylinder model number before ordering to be sure the correct seal kit is selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HS5157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Mount Cylinder Seal Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Seal Glands, Pin Wrench, Seal Gland Assembly Guide Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957806277\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaStar front mount cylinders: HC5340, HC5341, HC5342, HC5343, HC5344, HC5345, HC5346, HC5347, HC5348, HC5358, HC5365, HC5375, HC5394, HC5445\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaStar front mount cylinders: HC6750, HC6751, HC6752, HC6753, HC6754, HC6755\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the SeaStar HS5157 seal kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e HS5157 includes two seal glands, a pin wrench, and a seal gland assembly guide tool, everything needed to reseal a SeaStar front mount steering cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich SeaStar cylinders does HS5157 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e HS5157 fits the HC5340, HC5341, HC5342, HC5343, HC5344, HC5345, HC5346, HC5347, HC5348, HC5358, HC5365, HC5375, HC5394, and HC5445 front mount cylinders, along with the HC6750 through HC6755 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes HS5157 include a pin wrench?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the pin wrench is included in HS5157.
