I have confirmed that the actuator/bladder is leaking in my rear OEM locker, and have managed to source a used replacement actuator. Before going to the effort of pulling the locker and then pulling the carrier bearing for actuator replacement, I was wondering if it is feasible to test the new (used) actuator prior to installation by connecting it to the locker pump tubing. With nothing for the bladder to press against, is there risk of overinflating or blowing out the actuator bladder?
