Steering cylinder is leaking hydraulic fluid, I need to rebuild.
SN: 7BC02306 uses a 9T1493 CYLINDER GP-STEERING to the best of my research ability.
I have searched using google as well as this sites search function and find a lot of references to the 416 steering cylinder, but I have not seen anything specific to the 426.
According to the info I have via SIS, disassembly involves removing hydraulic connections, the tie-rod ends, four bolts on each side and removing the cylinder out on the curbside of the machine.
Is there something I am missing? I have the steering cylinder down to the point that I should be able to pull it out to the curbside of the machine, but it seems to hit a hard stop. Reading about the 416 steering cylinder and it seems there is a circlip in that model, but no mention of the same in the documentation I have for the removal of the steering cylinder in the 426.
There is a gland nut on the roadside and I have broken my spanner wrench trying to move it a fraction of an inch.
(BTW, I purchased the spanner (and three cylinder rebuild kits) online from HW Part Store and I emailed them late yesterday asking about their return policy on the wrench. I received notification this AM that "I" had successfully ordered the same spanner and the cost to include shipping was $0 - way better customer service than I was expecting)
Is this gland nut supposed to come out?
Do I just hit the roadside end of the cylinder with a big deadblow?
Obviously something is missing in the knowledge.
Thank you for your advice -
