[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 92725, member: 13117"] On the 753 tilt cylinder I re-packed, I could not get a good enough "bite" on the head to remove it with a chain wrench. My wrench did not have enough to grip before slipping off. I tried it a few times, but no luck. I had to heat the $hit out of it & use a punch to drive it about 1/32 of a turn at a time. After enough revolutions, I finally gained enough momentum to remove it by hand. It was a real PITA. I replaced the head as there was NO way to reinstall it = I KILLED IT! After I was done, I was honestly blown away by how easy it was to reseal. I was always mis-led by our local hydraulic repair shops as they would say it is too hard to do with just simple hand tools & so on and on!! However, I was somewhat amazed that it was o simple & straight forward to do, so long as the nothing gets damaged & it comes apart easily. I'm very glad that you got it all back together and everything worked out for you. It feels good doesn't it??? ROCK ON!!! [/QUOTE]
