I took the cylinder to a Bobcat dealer, and they had a steel table, with a shaft welded onto the table. The guy put the clevis over that, and used the biggest channel locks I've ever seen. The threads on the aluminum gland were shot, so I bought a new one. IMPORTANT: Use small files, and clean up the buttress threads in the cylinder. Try working the gland on. I had to file a little clearance on the thread, and made SURE the thing would thread in all the way, before assembling the piston, etc. If you don't do that, if the thing gets stuck part way on, you'll tear it up, so beware. Now, no leaks, works fine.</p></blockquote><p></p>
