<blockquote type="cite"><font face="Arial">I rebuilt the outside one
5 or 6 years ago. They are a 6 inch cylinder x 4ft long with a
2.5 inch rod. Everything Metric. The last time I rebuilt one I
made a wrench for the rod nut from an Autocad drawing and cut it
with the plasma cutter then put it inside a 8 ft piece of Drill
stem. I used a 2 inch dia. shaft to hold the rod end. Held the
rod down with one loader and used another to push the wrench
down. </font></blockquote>

<p><font face="Arial">Grinning, because a dozen years ago I did
something similar to disassemble a backhoe cylinder. Burned a
wrench profile from 1/4" plate, welded on a long steel rod
handle, parked my Dingo skid steer atop the cylinder's butt end,
and used a small gear hoist to pull between the wrench handle
and a 5' pipe tong to unscrew the end cap. <br>
