Backhoe seals replacement - Cont'd

Wow - and thanks. That sounds useful.

Now by "nut", do you mean that inner threaded cap that needs the spanner (I didn't see any traditional nuts)?

You stated Spanner (EPS) - what is the EPS? Is that a source - I'd like to find one. I don't want to use a a punch - the holes look good and I hope to keep them that way.

Now, is there a trick to laying the BH down so that it's easier to reassemble? Imagine it's not easy moving the BH into position without power. And is there any advice for bleeding the air out once it's hooked up?

Thanks in advance.

Yes nut is the big sucker on the end of CYL.. note: Remove the small thread locking screw if installed.

EPS is Supply in WY.. Marc often posts on this board.

You need to extend the Ram to its MAX . NO need to bleed system. When reinstalling the Piston Ram
I use a BFH to rap the end while screwing the
CYL nut (easier to Turn). Once Tightened down I use the hoe Hydraulics to obtain correct position.

The NUT on the end of the RAM (secures Piston)
requires a good whench & a cheater.

Hope This Helps
