Apparently there is only one place that rebuilds them and there are some parts in there that are not available any more and have to be "machined". Luckily mine was rebuildable and I was able to recover my core charge. Good luck. I still have half of a rear door hinge that cost me $950.00. I was able to have the broken one welded but was unable to return the new 1/2 because 2 weeks had elapsed.

The pump pressure is about 3,000 psi and the aircraft system works around 1,000 psi. Had the pressure go to 2,000 psi recently and broke a line. Most recent runup was OK but I don't trust it now. Have had two complete hydraulic failures this year, don't want any more. Maintenance guys have found someone to overhaul, but it's around $5,500 (ripoff price) and 45-60 days. I can't believe a pressure reducer is that complicated an item.. Does anyone have a pressure reducer for sale...sorry I don't have a part number at the moment. Experienced Commander folks will probably know what I need, but I can get the part #.
