[QUOTE="Forester, post: 112309, member: 19085"] Pulled the boom cylinder to replace the seals since I had a steady leak. I bought this less than a year ago used but it’s obviously seen some repairs. I noticed a few nicks in the rod guide and blown rings so I was thinking this would be an easy repair. When I got the rod all the way out I was horrified to find the lock nut apparently overtightened, stripped threads and the rod end deformed from what appears to be striking metal near the cylinder base. I’ll try to post some pictures to show the extent. Anyone have experience with this kind of mess? Any ideas on how to proceed or am I left with shelling out nearly a grand for a replacement? So this is my first post to this forum. How do I add a photo? [/QUOTE]
