    Easiest way to get the wear ring in for the backyard mechanic is to stack the old one on top of the new one and then flip the cushion ring upside down and stack it on top of that. Alot easier then looking for a socket.

  • @bluegrallis
    @bluegrallis 2 года назад +8

    @ 17:17, that ring is called a "guide ring" by paperwork I've seen. Some such 'paperwork' call it a wear ring as well.
    "Guide rings, also known as wear rings and bearings, are used to guide the piston and rod in a hydraulic cylinder. These rings absorb radial forces that act perpendicularly to the cylinder. Also, these bearings prevent contact between sliding metal parts, thereby optimizing seal performance."

  • @thomasbailey8306
    @thomasbailey8306 2 года назад +2

    Mike next time you have a metal Sleeve to put in and you know about it. Put new metal sleeve in a Freezer while your taking the seals out. And once you have old sleeve out and your ready for new one get it out of freezer and it should just Drop right in. And all youll have too do is put snap ring back on. That way you dont have to worry about damaging new sleeve. Should work good for things like that. Just a suggestion Sir. You got it in anyhow I was just giving You another way is all. Great Job Sir. Great Video...

    You made that look easy, appeared to be much easier to get the purchase you needed while the cylinder was still attached to the bucket end !
    Changing the rings made you look like a surgeon with the added bonus you know what you are doing 😁
    Had no issues with the volume either on this side of the pond, the distance must have evened up the quality!!!

    Jobs like these having a picker truck would make things so much easier. Another option to take it into the shop is get a big heavy flat piece of steel and put the rod in the press and press down on the eyelet holding it down to the table on the press. When i got my bucket cylinder rebuilt on my 230 hitachi, the rod end got mushroomed slightly from the previous owner slamming the bucket open to try get material to come out of the bucket. So had to take it into a machine shop to get the end of the nut and the threads taken off.

Thanks for the "pre-daylight" entertainment, and nice job on the "out-ro" by the way. Take care.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting and entertaining to follow along with you as you figure out how to do a job. I’m pretty certain there are very few jobs you couldn’t eventually figure out. Was a little reminiscent of watching the “Precision Transmission” shop from Amarillo TX that has a RUclips channel and records the tear downs and explains the points of wear they find and how all the little giblets inside a transmission works. Might be something to do if the Subaranger ever needs to be serviced. Had me 😂 with the we can’t be friends if you actually use a proper breaker bar followed by you using a proper breaker bar with next level cheater pipes in the next two shots. Hopefully you can still be friends with yourself. Looking forward to seeing more in the future, wishing you and your family the best.

    When I get stuck on snap rings or seals. I like to get real close. With a gentle but convincing voice tell it. "Your coming out even if I need to melt you." Usually works a out 70% of the time everytime. Maybe next time you have to replace seals. Lay them out in a line so it's super easy to put back. Plus you can remember the orientation of the seal. Maybe use some hydraulic fluid on the seals as you put them in. That word you were looking for "grub screw"

    You should always take a cylinder apart with the rod all the way in you lose less oil. Also if you can, generally the fittings on the side. If it has a hose that goes to it, take the hose off, hook up a heater hose to it. So whenever you're pulling out or compressing the cylinder that oil is going to come out through the heater hose and you get direct it wherever you want it to go.
