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.
This comment is underrated.
Yeah that makes sense, so the bed has a failsafe to prevent it from crashing if the nut happens to back off
i think you're correct .. have a like/up-vote
I was just gonna post the same thing. He put it back together correctly.
This IS the proper procedure. Rebuilt several of these.
Old video to comment but I love Meatball. What a guy
Repeated application of the "If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer" philosophy. I love it!
“I sure hope that comes out of their” immediately cuts to torch being fired up. I love it!

Howdyyawl from the land down under. Hydrolics scare some people. Not hard to fix. Done all my own over the years. You did a great job to illustrate how to tackle a single lift ram. Hope some learned alot. Always good to watch you fixing stuff.😊
There's something about Meatball that makes me laugh every time. He seems to be quite a character.👍👌😁
his exercise ball that’s bigger than him cracked me up!
Meatball , never gives up! Much, like his owner! Determination!
if you ever know anybody with an English bulldog, Meatball in the background is completely normal.
Meatball is enthusiastic

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.
As a certified couch mechanic, I approve of this repair.
🤣🤣🤣 Me too! Man, that's one the best of the year ! Like it. 🤣🤣
My couch isn't working right. Can you come do some mechanicing on it?
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
Pulling the two dissimilar metals out of one another could have created magnetism.
Thanks. That was bugging me. 🤔👍
I do love it when Matt says " This probably won't be so bad" Because he immediately jinxes himself and we get to enjoy all the extra content!! Good job Bro!!!
So many heavy duty tools to assist in a heavy job like that sure make it a lot easier. What's that, a $500 job at the truck repair palace? DIY saves so very much money! Good show, Matt.
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? I always enjoy your content, as well as the spooky unknowns of the world at large.
The heat also helped to induce the magnetism. The shock from hammering aligns the molecules in the metal.
Proud of you for commenting on this. It jogged my memory of a discussion on this many years ago. I forgot the context but yes this does sound familiar. I think old time blacksmiths discovered this phenomenon and used it occasionally for practical purposes. Sounds like a good rabbit hole to dive into for a few hours.
An extremely weak magnet, nothing like we see here.
Wow I know why most of my viewers come from this channel I'm glad I've found you enjoyed your style 💞👌
A self-lubricating chassis system is a feature, too bad you had to get rid of it.
That forklift has the deluxe SLCS, it was squirting on every lift.
my guess is that we get a future video on that one
@@ronmimnaugh7674 Hope so. :)
I thought I was the only one that saw this.......
@@kltpep Nope. 🤣🤣
Big truck, big cylinder, big problem getting it off, big reward and a lot of satisfaction.... nice job bro.
dang that was difficult! I am all worn out, and I am just sittin' here.
I'm only 10 minutes in,but you promise me a " fix it like you love it" whoooppp!
Very impressive. Never underestimate the value of a good mechanic.
You inspire me, and I'm sure others, to just get in there and try our best to fix/maintain stuff! Tho I don't own a single "heavy" machine, I do rebuild cars as a hobby and have learned a lot of basic mechanic skills/principles from you, thank you Matt! Aloha from Hawaii!
Matt your determination is endless when it comes to your projects.
Maintenance days can make ya crazy/cranky! But, sure satisfying when it's completed.
I definitely agree, I run into that whenever I have to grease my dad’s machines and on of the fittings doesn’t want to take grease or get cleaned out
love how you just look at something and find a way to fix it even if the makers say hey its cheaper if we build it dumb. story of our lives!
i am amazed that he did that entire job and his shirts still clean i cant even get to my tool box in the shop with out ruining a shirt
10/10 do share your secrets
Pay attention I have like 4 different shirts on in the video lol this was spread out over a week of messing around
Also, pro-tip. Never wear your nice clothes, that way you're always ready for work & never in trouble with the missus for ruining the nice clothes ;)

Packing looks like Metal Piston oil Rings Interesting Matt very unique 18:40 @Diesel Creek
Rained out at my Foundation repair and now i get to watch some Diesel creek! Nice!
Matt, you're a hard worker. Being fearless gives you a positive attitude. And you're smart. Good qualities to have.
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
🤣🤦🏼♂️
@@DieselCreek "she's a squirter!"
Great job! Doing a repair like that singlehanded makes it that much harder; however, it does show case your mechanical aptitude to work around the additional challenges of a one man repair. Thanks for sharing!
A 466 with a 10 speed in a single axle is a FINE setup. I drove the tandems with a 466 and a 13-under and they were fine too. A 3208 was a fine engine for that size too. Fine job on the cylinder. And NO CUSSING which was an A-PLUS! Keep it up and you'll have me subscribing!
If You could please forgive me, I would like to make some observations.
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.
4. The forklift didn't get stuck, it got jealous.
I love your videos and I hope you dont get offended by my comments.
Nu 3 think the nut was already stuffed, that's why they'd center punched it so well ,to hold it together?
It was built that way for safety reasons because of so many injuries and deaths from boxes falling. So it's made to be removed from the underside with no box threat.😉👍
The seals can be warmed up in hot oil or water to soften them.
I've always wondered what that stuff looks like inside - thanks for sharing the rebuild. Good stuff!
"The carnival continues" that scene gave me a great laugh, thanks a lot!
Matt, thanks for another great video! I'm always amazed by your ingenuity when overcoming obstacles! Your dear Wife really held her own driving the loader... Kudo's to her! So glad I found your channel, you continue to be an inspiration!
Glad you got it done without any issue
Meatball seems to have a lot of energy for a bulldog!
Most of them do, until old age sets in.
It's not energy they lack, usually. It's oxygen.
Don't you love to hear those old bull dogs snort and grunt, there funny, until they bite your Ass ? see ya
@@DavidGrassSr 🤣🤣
I usually never comment on anything at all. I’m a rigger and forklift mechanic. One of the companies we use to haul heavy loads had a guy working on a new to them dump truck with all the cylinders repacked and all lines replaced. 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.
yes I didn't trust the factory rod for the type of work I was doing!
Thank you , Matt for your mechanical breakdown and explanation of hydrolic lift. Man, you have terrific determination! If there is a will , there is a way!
Good show!😀👍
Thanks for another lesson Matt. I am 67 & cant work any more but I still like learning !!
I enjoy your show very much !!
Been binge watching your videos for a day or so I must say you're a talented man. Keep on keeping on.
For sure would buy a plate.
I give you credit for not giving up on a hard job, you just find ways around it. Great video.
"meatball" lmaoo such a fitting name
He has fun that's certain! Great entertainer.
Great job Matt!
@@jeffryblackmon4846 gcguy is g
You need the tool that Clint has for those seals Matt. You haven't done a video from home in a long time since you started working in the shop. Nice to see it again. Thanks for sharing your aggravating cylinder repair job.
Damn good job Matt! Your perseverance and ingenuity sure paid off here. The dogs are fabulous, especially Meatball, he's cute as hell pushing that ball around.
You are a good heavy duty mechanic for big equipment.
Watching Matt operate his equipment is the best part!! I think he could deal Blackjack with that skid steer!! LOL
You've inspired me. I am going to pick up a 71 crane truck and start working on it. Have to have it towed in, but the engine works.
Matt you’re the man! This is definitely one of my two favorite channels on UA-cam! I always learn a thing or two from watching
Goes to show you! If you have one piece of heavy equipment, you need several to keep them going! Always instructive in problem solving, and Meatball is always entertaining!
I think that's funny your dog is playing with a ball that is bigger than he is.
And Matt is also playing with machines bigger than he is 😅
Love the videos Matt don't ever quit...You should do a story time video telling us about you and your lifestyle and history... Is this your house and your shop is somewhere else???????
He doesn't know anything! Matt - your supposed make Tarzan sounds when swinging on hydraulic cylinders. Woulda' popped right out. How else would it know you mean business?
Maybe he thought it was a wrecking ball... 😏
Love the "Meatball" the bigger the ball the better the role!
You inform & make interesting all your projects, as in the repair of the hydraulic cylinder on the dump truck!
Always look forward to each video!
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.
Maybe a clevis pin?
To quote a famous person " love it when a plan comes together " nice work
How many shirts were required to finish this job? Were any harmed? From the Ethical Treatment of Plaid Shirts.
Don't know how many times I've found a bolt or welded rod where a pin and cotter used to be. Jerry fixes are such a pain to remove.
I liked that compressed air trick you used to advance the piston in the cylinder.
Nice job Mat. Have experience in hydraulic ram repair and some of them can be a bear to work on, especially if someone ahead of has made a mess out of it. Enjoyed the rebuild, especially since I didn’t have to work on it!😏
Matt, You are a VERY clever mechanic.
Jesus, your dad is still with you? what a blessing.
You are fearless! You never showed any doubt. I was cringing all the way. Apparently, that's what it takes to get done what you do. I applaud you.
When a piece is magnetized for any reason I say" That's my magnetic personality!" and mean it.
Another nice job, well done.
Don't you wish more people used anti-seize. I know I do. 🤷♂️😞
Ah, NO! I hate the stuff as it ends up everywhere even on the old ladies kitty. Grease works nearly as well and it does not follow you home.
@@Wonderwrench I hear you but that is the point, it is supposed to stick everywhere, it is either wear gloves or use lacquer thinner to get it off. 😞
There is no need goop it on, a little goes a long way. I work in a steel mill and when I come back to undo a fastener I worked on 30 years ago and it just nicely comes apart, I fall in love all over again.🥰
@@MatthewBerginGarage I also worked at a steel mill, we undid every single fastener with the torch. Steel mill life was really hard on any threads sticking out of the nut.
@@the_hate_inside1085 I'm a shift electrician we try not to need torches if at all possible.😱 My mechanical compadres also use the flame wrench on all bolts, it just saves time.
Great job Matt it’s about time something went your way, thanks for taking the time to share your time with us. 👍 Tom 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Never say "It's coming off easy". That is a sure way to make something go wrong.
Good job Matt! These jobs that have to be done now put a lot of pressure on a guy. When you have trouble getting something apart or put together again it just amps up the anxiety. I know you were relieved to get that hydrolic ram fixed! Thanks for lettings us watch you work once again.
magnetism possibly from current for chrome plating?
For as much as you are messing around with hydraulics you should get a seal installer. Folds the seal so that it easily goes in and when you unwind it 1/2 turn the seal pops into the groove. A real help.
"I don't wanna speak too soon, but..." Uh-oh, you just shouldn't say that lol
it always gets worse if you say that
My favorite last words... "Just one more (whack, tap, bump, click, etc)." It never seems to be just one more anything... or if it is then I know I am tearing back apart again because I broke it...
@@jcota2003 mine is almost got it! Three hrs later you get it.
looking from the front you have the best looking American truck l have ever seen.
God i feel your pain on this, i think your forklift has a pretty good hydraulic leak also
Only when you lift above 4 foot lol
Looks like you paid your disassembly dues, so reassembly gods showed you some mercy! Great viewing. You're never intimidated.
Wow, drive by that engineers house and throw the hydraulic ram assembly in his yard. Never ends my friend, just got to keep moving. Magnetism my guess is from plating process or friction.
I heard if you hammer a piece of iron, steel it'll magnetize for a short term but I'm not 100% sure.
@@kamsok6132 heating and beating can result in minor magnetism
I worked at the Navy Shipyard here in California and worked in the hydraulic shop. We repaired the large cylinders for the amphibious ships stern gate and talk about fun.
Death challenge to any project "Whoo maybe this project won't be so bad..."
Hi Matt, I hope you put that bolt on the end of the ram the opposite way so the nut is on the bottom so you can drive it 0ut after loosening it from the nut, good job no leaks....awesome
need a series on you teaching the wife on using all your heavy equipment.
This ain't that kind of website buddy
I love her face when he has her drive something new! A combination of WTF and panic.
@@Calamity_Jack 🤣🤣
Man's best friend love the bulldog
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... 😉
@Bill the Welding Sloth Ok, ok, you're not a yob,I believe you. You are definitely a nut job though... 😁👍
You got it. That has happened to me and I felt like an idiot. Now I try to write down or keep track in my mind where stuff is suppose to go back together
@@georgedavidson7986 Keep a shop cell phone. One that you don't mind getting dirty or scratched up and take a sh*t load of pictures. 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!)
@@akersjon278 Been there done that And still have ended up with extra parts Almost like someone threw stuff in there to freak me out
@@georgedavidson7986 Pfft, that's nothing! If you want to have something to freak out about, try cutting and welding on a piece of scrap metal that you found in the corner of the shop to fix a problem you had with a piece of equipment at the time, just to realize a couple of weeks later that it belonged to the machine you pulled apart a really long time ago (You know, the really expensive one that it took forever to get the parts for, because it's old and rare)... 😁👍
I read all these comments.... and as usual there are "those "who know it all.... I thought it was a good learning video.... as it should be to those of us that never tore apart a cylinder... I loved the air pressure method of moving the plunger... very smart. Keep up the great work.
"Maybe this project won't turn out so bad".... Matt, you really like to live dangerously don't you.
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy approved ! that was good info
I think cutting the welds holding the pin in and then installing a removable pin would have been way easier and would of solved the problem for the future rebuild
i would have reinstalled with a link pin, not a bolt and nut
Who cares
there is something about a cylinder that works right that is very satisfying, the perfect meme , back and forth , in and out, yin and yang, slide, slide slide.

Hank from Hamiltonville Farms should be proud of you - I only saw an adjustable wrench and various hammers through most of it.
