Kudos to the mench wrenches. You told me to 'peen' the cylinders of my backhoe boom and extender cylinders to break the adhesion with vibrating cold expansion blows while a long cheater pipe gives torque thru a wrench on the cap. Bang Bang Bang. I took to making the hammer ring by bouncing it along the peen lines. And the pipe drops like a cake out of a box. We laughed with joy. Had been stuck for 2 1/2 months. Now I have the pistons wrapped up in the back of my truck to bring them to town to get the nuts loosened. Moving the ball along. Thank you good wrenches.
