hydraulic cylinder leaking w/pics

teachingscience · Jan 26, 2013

Hi all, I have a log splitter with a leaking cylinder. It is a large cylinder probably 5 inch. It has a packing nut that screws into the head and a ring that surrounds the head.It leads where the head goes into the cylinder ( a stream when I retract the cylinder). The head spins freely and the ring spins freely but the packing nut is too large to remove the ring to see how to disassemble and since the head spins I cant unscrew the packing nut. How do i get this apart to repair the leak?

Any help is greatly appreciated
