Getting around to working on the Hydraulic cylinders on my 580b. I have at least two that need to be repacked. From what i found on the web it says that the rod could be bent? But i am thinking that the seals are just old and that is why they are leaking.
I found a gland nut tool for $100, and the seals look to be about $50 or so from Case. I also spoke to a Hydraulic shop that will replace the seals for $200 a cylinder.
My debate is should i buy the tool and try to replace the seals myself or should i just drop off the cylinders and let the shop do it?
How hard is it to replace seals?
