I'm sorry I can't tell you the exact size right now.
I have access to a large variety of sizes.  I usually
go there with the part, try a few and then purchase a
pack in that size.  Unfortunately, I've got 30-40
packs  of various sizes and wouldn't even like to
speculate  which  one it is.  On the piston side of
the assembly, use clean brake fluid to lube the
square-cut o-ring and the piston.  Behind the piston
and in the camshaft chamber I used Mobil 1 synthetic
grease.
