DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Keep on hand a container large enough to hold all of the oil in cylinder being repaired.
When cylinder rod and head are removed, oil will run out of cylinder.
1. Use an allen wrench to remove bolts that
hold cylinder head to cylinder tube. See
Figure 7.
2. Support cylinder rod with a lifting sling.
See Figure 8. Slide cylinder rod out of
cylinder tube. Rotate cylinder rod slightly
as it is being pulled from cylinder tube.
This will make it easier to pull rod out of
tube.
3. Set cylinder rod assembly in a repair
fixture and secure rod in place. See Figure
9. Use a power wrench and socket to
remove nut that holds piston on rod.
