[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 91698, member: 13117"] Tazza, you are right about it hopefully saving on the gland nuts. I bought another gland nut for when we re-pack a lift arm cylinder on the 753. That was $130+, so I guess you have a good point there. I'm still looking for other spanners that will help speed up the process. I'll have two other cylinders to do after that one, too. In regards to heating it up, it was hard to say what happened, but when we finally spun the nut about (3) times, it freed up completely. So, I guess the gland seal was so dry that it did not want to spin out of the barrel. The other cylinders I have done were on DITCH WITCH machines. They were difficult to even turn them at all. But as soon as they spun, they were easy peezy to pull them apart. [/QUOTE]
