Hydraulic Cylinder Leak Repair/Rebuild

[@forrestallison1879]

Thanks a ton. Probably the best video I watched about how to do this.

You didn’t have to bleed the hydraulic lines?

[@nokoilseal3399]

Thanks for you sharing

How does the air bleed off from the air lock?

[@MasterJacks]

It gets circulated out when the pump runs.

.... wait is your hydraulic shop called Azdell’s?! If not that’s my go to shop. SO MUCH CHEAPER than going to a dealer for seals. Since they want to sell you a full packing kit which contains the same seals, but is usually 5 times the prices of buying the individual seals at a hyd. Shop.

The local one near me is called Tristate Hydraulics. I agree, I love small town specialty shops. All the seals together were right around $40, and I didn't have to wait a week to get them!

I heard NEVER USE ATF as it ruins the seals!? Use only the oil which goes into the system.. Why atf??

[@MasterJacks]

Thanks the comment. ATF is a premium hydraulic fluid. It won't react with the seals. Its viscosity may not be what a manufacturer recommends based on system pressures, but using it to knock off the dust won't hurt anything.

I agree. I would use what the system called for to lube and decontaminate.
