You guys working on the old Clarks definitely have my respect. They are a REAL pain in the ass compared to ALL the other makes. There is a local company in my area that does the spray- weld repair on the piston rod then they machine it down to factory specs. Takes out all the dings and dents that cause leaks in the seals.

I remember working on these. I think the White forktrucks are the only one's that you check the hydro oil with the forks fully up. Makes the most sense to me. The Toyota's go by what the sea level is where you are at

you basically lift forks above top of cylinder ,
then use chain to hold boom up . let cylinder down and it should fall out .
nothing really holds them , but have plenty of oil dry ready . lol -

Nice job. Feels good when you tackle a big job like that and save a lot of money. I have a 72 Clark C500-55. The seal is leaking when I lift it all the way up at the top of the lift cylinder. I see some broken plastic around the seal. It sat for a long time before I got it. I only paid 350 bucks for it and it runs good. I have 2 Old Clark forklifts that I restored. This is a first for a lift cylinder seal replacement. Thanks for posting this video. It will help me with my job.
