I need to replace the seals in a couple hydraulic cylinders. What is the best way to get the threaded endcaps off? Is there a good source for seal kits on the net? Is there a good manual out there to walk me through this rebuild?
Thanks
Jason

I leave the cylinder on the machine and use a 4 foot pipe wrench. I tap around the threads a bit and heat it up if I must. Hardest part sometimes is getting the piston out, I"ve used my truck in 4WD and used the hydraulics themselves to force it out but THAT WAY IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! Low throttle and a clear launch pad are a must, be prepared for 2 gallons of fluid in your yard!! Then to get the piston nut off that holds the seals and cup seals etc, I bolt the piston back in the machines mounting and use 4 foot wrench again.

There are seal kits everywhere on the net, just search on DOGPILE. Usually about 30 to 60$ and you can save a boatload of cash doing it yourself. If the piston is nicked I just stone it flat and always retract the cylinders from thereafter...

No manual needed, it"s all tight and dirty and nasty. I clean it all up in gas, draw a picture on a notebook and reassemble. Then put lots of grease on it and slide it back in the cylider. Sometimes I never evn remove the cylinder from the machine, I just spray brake cleaner in it and wire brush the end cap threads. The pistons weight is usually a PITA but I"ve done alot of them by myself. You just have to get creative. The old DYANHOE had some HUGE pistons and they weren"t fun, enjoy!!
