Hydraulic cylinder repair

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

licensed? you don't need that to buy the tool to remove the cylinder end, I have that tool, bring it to me I do hydraulics all the time where I work. best to re seal both cylinders if you are going to do that.

Newagerod · OSHAWA, ONT

I can remove the other one, could you pm me your info see if I can make time to come over

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

do you have the seals to rebuild the cylinders?

Newagerod · OSHAWA, ONT

No I don't know the size, lol. Really All I need is the end loosened. I can get the seals when I get to the old ones

Do What hemi said . most of them cylinders are just held together with a chuck of wire in a slot . more then likely all thats in it is a o ring on the piston

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

boys boys, hes trying to save a few bucks here, not spend mad bank, its taken care of.

DaveM · ONTARIO

I have the same lift. If you could post you findings and seal sizes, that would be appreciated.

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

no problem dave, ill give you the part numbers and take some pics as well.

slim · DUNDAS, ONT

At a 200% mark up the seals in that may be 5 bucks. The gland on it should never see oil and the only important part of it would be a bushing to hold the rod straight. As I said earlier most won't even tread the gland because it adds to the cost . Does Not show a clear picture of the gland so if it is treaded it may have a set screw to lock it . 9 out of 10 hydraulic shops fancy tool is a chain wrench.

sure you would be saving him money if he lived close by . if he lived in the hamilton area Id just fix it for a black 2 sugars but if you blow 30 bucks in gas and 1/2 day of your time your not saving much.

Can I recommend only one sugar !!! biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin

fatstax · COBOURG, ONT

until i see his cylinders i dont know what they even look like, i dont think this is his lift, he said he has a lift like that one so i would imagine this picture is an example of the type of lift he has. i suspect the nut that holds the piston to the shaft may be loose and oil might be getting past it, if thats the way its made. i find these offshore cylinders are not of the greatest quality and the seals they use are cheap.

Who's jumping on who?? WTF are you reading Henry? confuse confuse confuse

Newagerod · OSHAWA, ONT

No worries guys, I am glad people are posting nothing worse then asking a question and not getting one reply. Fatstax is gonna help me out he said he can do it. I'm just sick of going into shops and they look at me like I'm 12 and laugh because I can't do what they do for a living. I just say go f*** yourself to them.

And that lift is the exact same as mine. The cylinders are a threaded cap on top and you need a spanner wrench to get it off. I saw a full write up how to repair it from the exact same cylinder. I could fix it myself if I could just get the damn top off.

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

Big pipe wrench should take it off

Newagerod · OSHAWA, ONT

Tried!!
