I'm having a hard time picturing a cylinder there. If you're asking about the brake shaft that runs from one side of your transmission case to the other, it's not hard to remove. Drain your transmission first. Unbolt the pedals and drive something like a cold chisel into the crack to spread the iron. If it doesn't come off, try using a puller to help it off the shaft. If the shaft is not worn, you can replace the seals and move on. If the shaft is worn, it will have to be welded and ground back to size. The bushings in the transmission case are pretty resilient and don't seem to wear much. It's your call whether you replace them or not.

Thank you for the information!
