Machines | how to repack your hydraulic cylinder
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Great start to learning how to repack your hydraulic cylinder and save a ton of money !! Now some places call the packing a poly and seals also can be called packing so just depends on the repair guy or dealers or hydraulic place. And torques you will need to get for your cylinder they are all different But i mostly tighten it as tight as i can go and go with that , never have had a problem many many cylinders later. https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=rumrunner439

how multi Pistons kept in single cylinder (hydraulic cylinder)
-
nice
-
thx for the video. I'm going to try an repack a cylinder for the first time... 600$ a pop is getting expensive!

this pc 200?
-
You put the piston on upside down.
-
thanks for shearing very informative, I have notice that the whider seal in the front was towards the end of the shaft, and after the new seals where put in place , the whider seal was installed towards the gland, I don't know if this will make a difference
-
you called one part 3 names

I've been all over Youtube looking for commentary on assessing the cylinder wall condition, and when/whether to hone. Of the maybe ten cylinders I've rebuilt, I've done this on some when I've seen some more obvious scratches, but generally have NOT. So I don't have enough data to know whether this makes a difference in leaks past the piston - it didn't seem to in the key problem-cylinders; they keep dropping slowly, annoyingly vs. dangerously, while under load. Still, honing seems like something that should be done if in any doubt, simply because it's a lot easier to do it while the cylinder is out and clean than it will be to repeat the whole process later...

Didn't show how to put the seals in the gland, the most important part as far as orientation of the seals etc.....
-
grrr ... only part I wanted to see was the installation of the seals in the gland ...and you did not show that.

I really appreciate that you were willing to put this information (and yourself) out there. So many people need to know this because...well...broken tractor and little dough.
The only kink in the works is that this should never be an outdoor operation. Most people using these methods might leave too much barely visible grit in the works eventually destroying the cylinder completely. Most of us who have a sixty or seventy year old Case backhoe expect to leave it in perfect working order to our children and their children! But this means using correct tools and methods, avoiding all grit, dings and scratches. A slip of an improvised tool can cost a thousand dollar scratch keeping us from our work while waiting for parts or calling the tractor store foe way over-priced new whole units.
Thanks for sharing. Warn newbies more of how easy it is to goof accidentally please. -
shows well what a simple overall procedure this is

I work in a hydraulic shop and then clips sometimes can be a bitch.

You did a decent job with what you had. You took the Head Gland off and reinstalled the oring and backup on the head and then did new buffer seal and UCUP on it. The dust seal you say is called a wiper and probably didnt need to come off because usually it is not damage (but if they give you one change it out). You also did a good job in checking the rod to make sure it did not have any nicks it to make sure it would not clip seals later on. Also you are talking about wearings on the piston and a piston seal that keeps the pressure. If you use a pipe wrench on the nut just make sure you remove all burrs from it and use the proper torque when reinstalling and you will be golden. Well done

On the piston the wide ring is the bearing, the two small tings are what seal the piston, the small rings on many models also use a backup ring. On the gland the outer ring is a wiper, the actual sealing is done with the "vee" seal deep in the gland.
The easy way to do this job in most cases is to remove the rod/gland and leave the tube portion and hydraulic lines in place, sometimes you need to loosen the lines to break the vacuum/release pressure to remove/install the rod/gland assembly. -
How to huh? Didn't show any of the actual work. Congrats to you guys for doing it yourself,but this isn't a how to.
-
You never finished showing how to pack the gland before you put it on the piston rod.
-
does anyone know how to get into a 480 case tractor power sterring cylinder so it can be rebuilt.
-
lmfao you put the piston on backwards!
-
How did you get the retaining ring out?
