*CLASS IN SESSION - WOW* Man CONTENT is great but your DETAILS bring it all beyond for ANYONE planning this operation *on ANY piece of equipment* with the same or like seal configuration. This is a *LIFE SAVER* video showing not only how to do it but ALL the intricacies along the way! Outstanding in-depth performance! BIG THANKS!

Jesse Muller did replace the seals on his new excavator last video. Good diy explanation

Great how to vid Mike lotsa great info from experience there! Man that was work I need a coffee now in my DB mug of course lol!💪

Hey Mike, great video. One tip for next time…if you ever have something that was assembled with loctite (especially the red) just use some heat on it before trying to take it apart. It doesn’t take much time or heat from a torch to break the bond of the loctite, and then you can much more easily unscrew the component. Obviously this doesn’t magically make the huge amount of torque you have to apply to break it loose somehow disappear, but it does lessen the time you spend having the fight the loctite the entire way as you take it apart. Hope this helps, keep up the great work you do both in your business as well as in content creation.

Great videos man I love watching them I just started working for myself doing excavation and stuff you should do a video on your start up and success and lessons you learned and finding work and whatever else on working for yourself

Thanks for the video. I gave up trying to do a 6" barrel for my blade lift cylinder because the gland nut was so tight. You can't really do it on the excavator, so I took it to a pro who struggled at first but finally got it done. He used the same pipe wrench and two guys to get it to move. Your suggestion to take pictures is the key to avoiding getting into trouble. A big vise and a steel table bolted to the floor come in handy if it can't be done on the machine. Thanks for mentioning Friday Parts. Finding a resource for the heavy-duty tools was a problem to find.

Great video. You do a great job explaining the how to. Keep them coming!!

The most detailed explained hydraulic cylinder rebuild on the internet. 👍

Thank you for this video. I’ve got an old backhoe, and I’m facing this project on a few cylinders. Plus knowing where to get the proper tools is important too.

[sassafrasvalley]

Boss man… I’ve done that job wrong a couple of times… now I know where to look the next time I attempt it.

Thanx bud!

[RobertBee-fshv]

Im very ompressed with your camera views . You take the time to make closeup when installing the o ring seals

[floridabrushanddirt]

I’m about to have to do angle cylinders on my 650k this video will help a lot! Thank you

[henryg]

Great job Mike!!! Glad to see you are doing the maintenance before the busy season hits and preventing it from happening during the time a big job is going on I think that’s great!!!! I worked for a contractor that waited until fluid was leaking all over and the men lost time because he’s trying to save money in the long run it cost more because of more damage being done than a repair in the first place that would have cost less!!!! See you in the next video!!!

[garyclarke]

And I was quoted $300 to inspect and $1200 parts and labor. After this wonderful video I will attempt my own rebuild. Thanks for your help!😂

[georgeking]

That was a great how to video. The right tools make any job easier.

[nickpfeifer]

Great Video Boss, thanks for the tutorial!!

[FridayPartsOfficial]

[bobgaylord]

Kamatsu - wouldn't the wrench be a metric size?

[derrickpettit]

That's awesome mike, good job, yeah I know those gland nuts can sometimes be a pain to get off bigger the machine bigger the torque value, thanks for sharing
