6. Remove the six screws that secure the log dislodger
to the beam using a 9/16" wrench. See Figure 5.3.

8. Remove the cylinder from the log splitter.
9. Install the cylinder by following the previous steps in

swivel section is tightened. If the center part
rotates, the O-ring can be damaged and it
will leak under pressure.
