Thought I'd try to take apart since lift rams are sitting on bench. fluid pumped out. I have the seal kits for both. They have the little set screw near end which both came out easy.. tapped the piston in inch or so to get at the snap ring inside the tube near outer edge. The snap ring is just a round ring with maybe 1/2 inch space between the ends. how do you get them out as obviously snap ring pliers won't have anything to grab? just take a small screwdriver and try to get under one of the edges?
