Marcus, You might want to query the folks at Inrad - they build the 8 pole filters.
You would need to replace all the crystals with a matched set, so it may be better to buy a new filter.

Hello everybody, I have a friend's KFL3A-400 on my bench which shows a 20 dB passband attenuation with high ripple. The fault was originally detected by a 3 S units signal drop in the K3 compared to its other crystal filters. The filter was working perfectly until recently. I disassembled and measured all crystals and they seem to be OK, with the exception of crystal no. 6 showing a higher ESR. But is this an issue? The input and output transfomers seem to be OK as well, although checked only for DC conductance and isolation. All solder joints have been checked.
