Hello.

Please check the below sentence and modify it if it is needed.
Also let me know if I should use "the ones" insted of "the old parts"?

"Install a new o-ring and gasket for replacement of the old parts."

Thanks!

Either of the following three sentences would be fine:


1. "Install a new O-ring and gasket to replace the old ones"
2. "Install a new O-ring and gasket to replace the worn-out ones"
3. "Install a new O-ring and gasket"


Number 3 is OK because new already implies that the old ones will be replaced so you don't need to say this.
