Lift cylinder removal and repacking

My cylinder is spewing a stream of fluid from the gland nut. I haven't done any repairs like this so I wanted to know how difficult it is, what special tricks anyone might have, what to watch out for, etc. I'm open to all advice.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
