The RG hydraulic pump rebuild kits seem strangely difficult to locate. There is some good info in the Lancair community. They use the same pump/cylinder system that Velocities do. According to their experts, the only non-standard part in the pump rebuild kit is the poppet valve, so you only need a rebuild kit if the poppet valve is leaking. Usually, you just need these standard O-rings from McMaster:
013-90, Spool Seal (013N90)
014-90, Check Valve Body seal (014N90)
908-70, Hex Plug Seal
908 Durometer 90
For more info, see Lancair builder Chris Zavatson's site: http://www.N91CZ.net
Linked below are his diagrams, explanations, and instructions for rebuilding the hydraulic pump and cylinders.

The parts list for replacing the main and nose gear cylinders (actuators) can be found on the
Landing_Gear_Cylinder_Rebuild page.
