I couldn't get the "con gland" (part 4 in the photos / diagram) out while the cylinders were on the backhoe (I tried that first), so now I have them off and need to tray and get them loose. (for the tribulations getting them off, see here . . . https://www.heavyequipmentforums.co...-cylinder-pin-580d.105950/page-2#post-1219750 )
This is what I'm trying to get off.
(I guess it's called a CON Gland?)
These are the tools I tried with the cylinders on the backhoe - couldn't get enough purchase / torque.
These "con glands" just aren't the easiest design to remove if they're stuck. It's not the same as a stock bolt or nut. Anyway . . .
Anyone have any tips or tricks for this? Both from the perspective of keeping it steady to apply torque, and how to apply the necessary torque. I'm thinking I'm going to heat both and douse with lubricant before I try again. I may actually set the end in a bucket of penetrating oil after heating it to see if that helps.
Depending on how bad it gets I may tap the Con Gland holes to try and thread bolts in there to better keep a grip . . . but I'm worried if I try to tap for threads I may ruin the piece, which would probably scrap the whole cylinder (not sure i could find just a "con gland" for sale).
Thank you for any thoughts.
