    The bolt through the Ram end is that way round for a reason. It cannot come out when the bed is raised, so the cylinder cannot come out of the yoke unless the bed is lowered.
    There is usually enough clearance under the yoke for the ram to extend below the bed if it comes loose on its own.
    Take the bolt out first, then extend the ram, prop up the bed, and remove the cylinder.

      You should use latex gloves to prevent cancer. I've never seen the inside of a hydraulic cylinder before.
      I think if I had a hydraulic shop around, I would just drop the cylinder off. Or better yet, maybe I'd just drop the truck off. How did you learn to do all this? I don't know that I would attempt all this myself, but I did learn a tip or two.

      This statement question has nothing to do with his video I remember in the early 60s we had a Hudson come in to have a valve job done the head mechanic and my father who owned the garage was a mechanic could not get the head off the engine block the nuts came off easy the head did not want to move I do not know what all dad poured down them studs diesel fuel kerosene and I have no idea what else but finally my dad gave up and told the customer come and get the when the engine started making funny noise call him they drove the car every day of the week and went to church on Sunday 11 days later they called Daddy and told him the car is making a funny noise well yeah the cylinder head was coming out finally my dad and I got in the truck and went and got the vehicle and pulled it back to the garage funny after 3 days of work on the head it finally came off the engine block it took another week to do the valve job and get all the studs out of the block so we could put bolts to hold a head down when it was all said and done My Father the owner of Buck's Auto Service gave him the job and apologize that it took so long like I said it doesn't have anything to do with Matt other than some of the things mechanics have to do to work on equipment The car orders passed away my father if dead the head mechanic is dead and I'm 81 I just want to say God bless to all you mechanics out there Jim Keane

  • @larrywalker7759
    @larrywalker7759 3 роки тому +32

    Matt, when you reassemble hydraulic cylinders that use the "wind in" style of lock ring, it is a good practice to heavily coat the lock groove with grease or anti seize (or a combo of both) before seating the packing gland into the tube. Also coat the same stuff onto the lock before winding it in. The grease will help the lock enter the lock groove and provide protection against future corrosion. And finally, after the lock is installed, lightly wipe out the excess grease from the lock ring access port and then fill the port with a plug of your favorite RTV to seal out moisture and dirt. The RTV will not bond to the greasy surfaces but instead will cure in the shape of the port and stay there until it ever needs to be removed with a seal pick. We expect to learn stuff watching you have fun with your machines (and we do). Hopefully you can benefit from feedback in the comments. Thanks for your content.

    If you line an anvil up to the north / south poles along with a bar of iron and hit it extremely hard with a hammer it will turn into a simple bar-magnet. The atom structure of the steel lines up with the poles and becomes a magnet. Was the truck lined up north to south?

Long story short, a great guy lost his leg and is still in intensive care. A factory prop rod folded in half and they’re not sure what the failure was and why the bed came down on him. A horrible event happened to a great person, and I’m glad to see you were safe about everything.

    1. I would have taken a cut off wheel and cut the head off that bolt and then pulled it up.
    installation would have been a hardened hitch pin with a hair clip.
    2. I always loosen cylinder caps while still on the equipment. no need to hold the part after you remove it .
    3. You probably rolled those threads when you removed the nut and didn't grind the punch crimps.

    From having done about 500 of those lift cylinders, that particular design sucks. They started welding the top pin in, because the ears are a bit too flimsy and the top pin had a habit of tearing out one ear or the other and making a real mess. The way I re-pack those, is by breaking the gland loose first, then pulling the bottom pin, then lifting the cylinder and slipping a section of 6" C-channel about 6 feet long underneath for a guide way. Then I set the cylinder back down in the channel, then remove the gland and slip the barrel off the piston sliding it down the channel. Then remove the piston, remove the gland, re-pack and reinstall in reverse order.
    My current truck is basically the same, a 96' Irrational ,but with the 7.3 and hydraulic brakes. I got it cheap with only 45k on the clock, because the base of the dump cylinder was torn out of the crossmember. Apparently, if you never, ever, grease the cylinder pivot pins, the pins will rust bind and twist the pin bosses out of the hoist frame when it raises, who knew right??? lol

    Usually when something comes apart only after a Herculean effort and some truly epic cussing , and then go back together again fast and smooth like, I get very suspicious. Because this usually means I forgot a small part somewhere and have to tear it back apart and do it right, or something else is broke that I missed and all my effort is for naught... 😉

I also use tape with writing on it on cables and pipes, but if it's a greasy job they can fall of or get smudged, especially if the parts are lying around for a long time before reassembly... I also put hardware in marked baggies and tape or zip tie those to the parts they came off of as I go along, but here we also have the same problem with the writing getting smudged on greasy jobs (or if it is a really long time between the tear down and the reassembly, sometimes I don't understand what the heck I meant when I wrote something like: "screws underside of flange". Six weeks later: What flange, there's no flange!! LOL!)

    It looked like that rear bolt on the cylinder was just a retaining bolt. I'd think you are just supposed to remove the bolt in the lowered position and remove the cylinder, or just raise the bed with no bolt to remove. The socket the cylinder fits in would have kept everything connected. Could also have dropped a shorter bolt/pin in with no nut just to be safe raising the bed.
