[QUOTE="SlowDave, post: 120531, member: 21901"] I have had good luck on stuck cylinders by taking the cylinder off the machine and putting the "nut" in a vise and then turning the cylinder with a pipe wrench. Pipe wrenches need to be used with caution and restraint. First off wrap some copper sheet around the cylinder. Then to use a pipe wrench properly there needs to be 3 points of contact, the 2 jaws and the back of the wrench opening. That would be the part that slides up and down when you adjust the wrench. Also I have had to cut flats in the "nut" at times to have it hold in the vise. There are a few more tricks but this should cover 99% of what you will encounter. [/QUOTE]
