I'm rebuilding the power steering cylinder on my Gleaner K2. It was leaking like a sieve. The rod was badly pitted and I'm making a new one out of a rod blank. Ive got all the seals for that but was wanting to replace the piston ring as long as I'm doing it all. It looks like a solid aluminum piston with a single groove in the middle. (its a two way cylinder). The parts book lists a Teflon piston ring and an oring. Maybe the oring is under the Teflon ring? Anyway I cant figure how to get that Teflon ring off or a new one on. Its hard and appears brittle and I see no gaps at all in it and it fits tight in the groove. See no way it could possibly stretch to fit. I see no seams in it or the piston. How was it even installed initially.
I can probably leave it alone and use it as is but it does have a little wear on it and if possible I would replace it.

It was pretty dark and I asked what it was
