Discussion:
free lift cylinder

How does one remove the free lift cylinder ram piston to install new seals?
It is bolt and nut less style.
It has a hole at the bottom of the piston and one on the side.
I tried looking inside the holes and have put a pick or allen key in hoping for a bolt in there somewhere?
There must be a special tool to release it as the piston does turn freely.
The seal is smaller than the other steps and I just can't expand it enough over the larger steps on the piston after heating in hot water.
Looking for help ASAP.
Thanks all.

Haha, figured it out. It takes two people to put this seal on, very tricky.
