I am hoping for some guidance on a leaking steering cylinder:
(1) REMOVING THE CYLINDER... I have been able to loosen one of the steering joints at the end of the cylinder on one side but the other side will not come loose. Attempts to loosen the other side result in the steering cylinder rotating on the loose side...so basically I am not making any progress. Anyone have any guidance to prevent the cylinder from rotating so that I can loosen the remaining side?
(2) SMALL BIT OF RUST AT THE END OF THE CYLINDER... I notice one side of the steering cylinders has some rust at the very tip. It is not bad but rather than spend $1,400 for a new one, any guidance on how to deal with that issue?
(3) SEAL REPLACEMENT... Any guidance, tips or tricks on how to break down the cylinder to replace seals?
Thanks
