[QUOTE="VW Splitter, post: 6424422, member: 77495"] Muddstopper, Thanks for the game plan to figure this out. I did what you said , extended the cylinder out, unhook the rod end hose, capped the hose , then tried to extend the cylinder more. The open cylinder port had a lot of flow coming out. I'm gonna need to rebuild the cylinder. Problem is the cylinder is pretty much welded in place. The rod end is welded to the push plate, and the push plate doesn't come off the beam. The cylinder does unbolt from the butt end. But I don't think there is enough slack in it to back the outside part of the cylinder back off the rod. Does the ring thread off the end of the cylinder, then the rod will just pull out? How hard is it to replace the seals, if I can get this thing apart?
