Shop where I buy seals also sells and builds new shaft---rods. You buy material by the inch and they cut off you old end and weld on then thread the other end for you piston. I have redone several cylinders with fair success. Have homemade a rod seal installation tool that works pretty good on the stiff seals. Can make for a couple dollars. You might find someone with a lathe to true up that ring keeper grove for you. Won't cost much to try. I find it hard to get some apart and am thinking of building a special tool for pulling the rod out of some. In worse case on a backhoe I just started it up and "shot" it out with hyd pres. Not a recommended way. but got it out--plus a bit of oil too. FB
