The long chrome-plated rod is called the piston rod or ram. The small round piece bolted on the end is the piston. The threaded piece that screws into the barrel is the gland.
I’m not sure if I would use a synthetic blend of oil. It calls for 10/30 and that case additive. Though I was told that JD hytrans fluid meets the specs
I used just a pair of channel locks to unscrew the cylinder cap, pulled the position out and used little screwdrivers and picks to get the seals put. Then of course the seal twister kit to get them back in. Yes you don’t want to damage or mar the piston it will cause problems for your new seals later as they run against it.
It would have been nice to see how you actually install the seals. You only show after it has been installed. This is not very helpful to someone who has never done it before.

He starts actually working on the cylinder at 7:55.
Thanks, you gave me the confidence to tackle my cylinder. Best Keith
💪
Don't forget to remove the locking set screw before attempting to unscrew the gland from the cylinder.
Great video!! Thanks

You're welcome, thanks for stopping in!
they make air tools that are much stronger if you move up to 3/4 or 1 inch drive
You can just use AW 68 hydraulic fluid, it's cheaper and totally fine from what most guys say on UA-cam
It looks like from the foliage that you made it through the winter and fixed it in the spring? How are you able to get by with it being down so long?
It's called a zirk fitting that was missing.
How did you get the ram off the machine? I can't see how it comes off.
I have a harbor freight 3/4 breaker bar that would remove the bolt.
Unfortunately I couldn't use a breaker bar because I was already afraid of bending the Piston.
Wow, I don't think u would twist the piston
You're probably right. I tend to over think things 😂
you should move to MN
Wish I would've seen how you put them on.
I can help answer any questions if you’re stuck.
Just wanted to see what tools you used. And if I scratched the surface would is cause a problem?

Can you be more specific on the additive
The HTO additive?
You can use AW 68 instead and it's supposed to be totally fine
Just use rotella HD tractor fluid. It has the case specs already so no additive needed.
After changing mine out it won’t hold pressure and it will slowly tilt down on its own. Anyone else have this problem or know the solution?
Maybe trapped air in the lines?
Throw the red lil drinking cup bucket away!!! It doesn’t work!!! It’s a rip off!!!!
Why don’t you use the press
Forgot we had one! 😂
