I have an A300 and watched HowIDidIt first. Since I don't have a crane and a 2000ftlb impact named "Milly" I searched to see how others were doing it and found your video. No offense, but I must say, it's like watching a technical service video of how it should be done, then watching a video of a backyard mechanic using a Crescent wrench and a rock to do the same job. Good job! Certainly eases my concerns of just how tight that bolt is and if the crane is required or the single safety support will do the job. I like the idea of the "early notice 2x6" as well.
Hahaha! Exactly! No offense taken. Glad to do my part. That’s what UA-cam is all about in my opinion, finding the answer to a problem or question. Thanks for watching and be safe out there!
Now I wanted to watch a video so I knew how to get the hardest seal back into place and of course that’s the part that you skipped, so this video didn’t help me at all.. And to break the nut lose, I stuck mine in my vise that I have, just to let you know in case you have to do it again.. Now I gotta go find another video to watch.. I really don’t want to break that seal
Using the arm to hold the rod for nut removal w a cheater pipe just never occurred to me. That nut was a show stopper until I saw your video. LoL... who needs a vise... Thanks! Oh and instead of a warning board I just rested my arms on a big tree w wheel chocks along with the standard arm lock that came w my S300.
Just in curious on how many hours was on the machine when you did this repair? I'm getting ready to do mine and it's got 3900 hours on it thanks good video
Is it necessary to extend the cylinder for removal? I am planning on doing the cylinder on the bucket for my S530 but curious if it matters if cylinder needs to be short or extended or does not matter prior of removal?
@@RudyGarcia-r1e I don’t believe it matters as long as you have access to all the nuts, bolts, lines, etc. and are able to remove and reinstall the cylinder without having to raise the arms
Not sure what size but or nut it was, lol. I just used an adjustable wrench. Thanks for watching! Oh if you watch “howididit” he might tell the nut size in his video
@@StoutCustom lol, I just saw that typo, I wound up figuring it out. For anyone else it's a 1 11/16 socket. I tried to get mine off with a wrench it wasn't budging. I appreciate the video

@@cliftonbrewster7527 I think 2200 but I had really over done it pushing up a huge oak tree. That’s when they started leaking

Do you need to do both sides if only one side is leaking?
It’s not necessary but up to you. If one side gave up due to wear the other may not be far behind.
how do you bleed the cylinder?
I don’t remember having to bleed them. I think I just cycled them through a few times
What size but was it
