I have a brake bleeder hand pump and been using it for a year, but now it will not hold any pressure. i know it is not the fittings or the hose because I tested them on another pump. Is there any way to take the pump apart and fix it or do I just replace it? I assume there is some seals in the cylinder that just go bad? Thanks.

If you know for certain the gauge is bad you can buy a new gauge from McMaster Carr, around $40 with shipping.
I can tell you how to fix the gauge but it requires a delicate touch in order to re-calibrate the spring mechanism, which is why it fails, it's not the seals.
Better to just buy a new one. All brake bleeders are made in China, there are no domestic manufacturers.
We sell both the plastic and metal units and they're on our website.-Foldus,
