Repairing a CRACKED Hydraulic Cylinder on the WABCO

Today we attempt a low-buck rebuild the bowl ejector cylinder from the Wabco 101F. As you will see, this cylinders end cap was cracked and re-welded multiple times! This marks part IV in the series. Subscribe for the future Wabco videos!

Is it going to leak?

[@jimmy6835]

It's causing some leaks on my end

[@GarnettM]

What's happening is the ram is bottoming out on the cylinder heel breaking the weld ,To stop that you'll need to weld some husky 3/4" Angles to the floor or sides of the bowl stopping the Skirt before it hits the cylinder max instant fix.

I have rebuilt several cylinders. Never thought about putting the eye in a vice and turn the nut. Might have been easier if you could have pushed down on the bar instead of putting up. Yep, a pick in the finger hurts!

[@dieseJL]

maybe I needed a bigger bar! didn’t want to break my vise though

[@hfdzl]

Good job, intelligent approach. Sometimes difficult without larger equipment. Hard seals can be warmed up in boiling water to install. Overall excellent job! Thanks

[@mattdeckert6150]

Jeep stuff is "eghh" for me but I love the Wabco and case dozer videos. I catch myself yelling at the TV, you got smoke give her a whiff of summer air and it'll run! But then.. I have been a diesel mechanic for 30 years

[@dieseJL]

Plenty of equipment stuff for you to watch around here!

[@frosteone1670]

That "wear ring" on the piston is worn out, should be replaced. That is why you see the grooves worn in the cylinder, wear ring keeps clearance there.

Parabéns ótimo trabalho 👏👏👏👍🇧🇷

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Great job all around.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks! Hopefully it doesn’t leak

[@EverythingElliott]

I love how reckless you are with that heavy hammer, pounding seals and all. Keep fighting the good fight

[@dieseJL]

why use small hammer when big hammer do trick - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKezknipqt9gqrs

@@dieseJL haha I knew exactly what that video was going to be before I even clicked the link. Love me a good office reference

[@diggiz22]

Good job bud.

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

good job

[@dieseJL]

Thanks!!

[@paulmorrow5905]

use to work on pistons that may be Rulon tape if not it would work. however it is like never seize. a week after use it will show up in your pocket...

[@dieseJL]

For the piston seal?

[@paulmorrow5905]

@@dieseJL for the bearing surface

[@mathiaslewen1953]

Locknut: Use loctite. It was probably loctite on it thats why it was really har to get it off. I usually heat them when they are hard to get of. If its loctite then they will loosen up at a moderate heat.

[@mathiaslewen1953]

To fast to Write thats exactly what you did! 😁

[@dieseJL]

Great minds think alike! Definitely spot on with the heat but I wanted to try and preserve the nylon in the nut as best I could.

[@roosthrower]

Looks like it was not bade long enough and nut was hitting on end you should of measured it all, great job anyway 10/10

[@dieseJL]

Thanks 👍

[@jimmy6835]

What was that noise at 22:42? Lifting a little too hard perhaps?

[@dieseJL]

There was a stool. I accidentally slid the stool across the ground. Relax.

[@aidanhunter3877]

That was definitely a fart

[@diggiz22]

It was the stool like he said. Listen properly lol

[@iant5645]

What ever happened to the next video can not seem to find it lol !

[@dieseJL]

It’s the one where we road grade with it

[@jsimm4587]

The piston is bottoming out and rupturing the cylinder bottom . Possibly.

[@dieseJL]

Stay tuned for our next video 😬

[@davidknisely6351]

If you weld up the bowl stops for the sliding floor that cylinder will last for ever.

[@dieseJL]

We’ll have to look into it!

[@davidknisely6351]

@@dieseJL I discovered it quite by accident. I repaired my cylinder 4 times. I mean I gouged it out and welded it each time. Finally out of desperation I welded up the stops. Since I purchased it new I knew it wasn't a problem with the cylinder. I just couldn't put my finger on it. At that time the scraper had about 12,000 hours on it. I never had another problem with it and sold it with 22,000 hours on it. I wish I had kept it. The one I have now isn't as nice and I bought it in Minnesota.

[@dieseJL]

Do you still have a wabco and use it?

[@davidknisely6351]

@@dieseJL I bought a another 101G about 10 years ago. I dug 2 ponds then got sidetracked on rehabbing houses and rental properties. Since I started watching your channel I have gotten the bug to get her going again.

Centerpunch stuff before you pull it apart.

[@dieseJL]

like differential caps?

[@Doitgood52]

Of course if you dropped it into a lathe you wouldn’t have to put out a fire 🤨

[@dieseJL]

yeah, I really wanted to do it on a lathe but I needed something with a 14” throw and I just don’t have access to one 😓

Your Work table looks AS IF it has been Baptised with Hydraulic Fluid .........!!!

[@herbemont7627]

First time viewer, saw all I needed to see when you kept using the Crescent wrench backwards, I'm out

[@dieseJL]

Wait, do you think the cylinder will leak now because of that?
