Repairing a CRACKED Hydraulic Cylinder on the WABCO

Today we attempt a low-buck rebuild the bowl ejector cylinder from the Wabco 101F. As you will see, this cylinders end cap was cracked and re-welded multiple times! This marks part IV in the series. Subscribe for the future Wabco videos!

What's happening is the ram is bottoming out on the cylinder heel breaking the weld, To stop that you'll need to weld some husky 3/4" Angles to the floor or sides of the bowl stopping the Skirt before it hits the cylinder max instant fix.

I have rebuilt several cylinders. Never thought about putting the eye in a vice and turn the nut.
Might have been easier if you could have pushed down on the bar instead of putting up.
Yep, a pick in the finger hurts!

Good job, intelligent approach. Sometimes difficult without larger equipment. Hard seals can be warmed up in boiling water to install. Overall excellent job! Thanks

Jeep stuff is "eghh" for me but I love the Wabco and case dozer videos.

I catch myself yelling at the TV, you got smoke give her a whiff of summer air and it'll run! But then.. I have been a diesel mechanic for 30 years

I had to weld one cylinder on that fordson. Someone welded it before. It blew while I was digging out tree stumps.

I love how reckless you are with that heavy hammer, pounding seals and all. Keep fighting the good fight

What was that noise at 22:42? Lifting a little too hard perhaps?

use to work on pistons that may be Rulon tape if not it would work. however it is like never seize. a week after use it will show up in your pocket...

Locknut: Use loctite. It was probably loctite on it thats why it was really har to get it off. I usually heat them when they are hard to get of. If its loctite then they will loosen up at a moderate heat.

If you weld up the bowl stops for the sliding floor that cylinder will last for ever.

Looks like it was not bade long enough and nut was hitting on end you should of measured it all, great job anyway 10/10

The piston is bottoming out and rupturing the cylinder bottom . Possibly.

Centerpunch stuff before you pull it apart.

Of course if you dropped it into a lathe you wouldn’t have to put out a fire 🤨

Your Work table looks AS IF it has been Baptised with Hydraulic Fluid
