on the base end only.

Tap the retainer into the shell approximately 2 in.
(50 mm). Remove the retaining ring by prying one end
up and working the ring out of the groove.
Service Tool Kit 674424 includes two double-ended
brass tools that make seal and ring removal easy and

scratches.
CAUTION: Do not scratch the cylinder bore.

Clamp the rod assembly in a soft-jawed vise or between
two blocks of wood. Never clamp directly on the rod
sealing surface. Remove the nut fastening the piston to
the rod. Remove the piston and retainer.

seals. Pry the seals up with a brass tool. Cut the seals
to remove.
CAUTION: Do not scratch the seal grooves.

Cylinder Inspection

5.5-3
• Inspect all components for nicks or burrs. Minor nicks
or burrs can be removed with 400 grit emery cloth.
NOTE: Minor nicks are those that will not bypass oil
under pressure. If nicks cannot be removed with emery
cloth, replace the part.
• Inspect the outside of the shell for deformities that could
weaken the shell's performance when under pressure.
Replace if necessary.
