Steering Cylinders

How to Remove a
Steering Cylinder
There are two identical steering cylinders that
work in parallel. They are part of the same
hydraulic circuit, but move in opposite directions.
The tie rod maintains equal movement of the tires.
When removing a hose assembly
or fitting, the O-ring on the fitting
and/or hose end must be replaced
and then torqued to specification
during installation.
Refer to Section Two, Hydraulic
Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications.
1 Tag, disconnect and plug the hydraulic hoses
from the steering cylinder. Cap the fittings on
the cylinder.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.
2 Remove the pin retaining fastener from the
rod-end clevis pin of the steer cylinder. Remove
the pin.
