Hydraulic cylinder repair Bobcat 873

I decided to repack the curl cylinder while I was pressing in a new bushing.

A 6 point socket is a lot less apt to round off a nut on high torque applications. The "hard plastic" may be teflon, try soaking it in hot water for a few minutes to soften it. It should shrink back after cooling.

Wouldn't it have been better to crack the gland open with the spanner while the cylinder was still mounted on the Bobcat?....

Those nuts are torqued to around 500 ft pounds lol.
