 I have to repack my blade cylinders and need to know how they come apart. There is a snap ring in the end but can't seem to compress it enough to get it out. Could this be threaded in to the cylinder tube? Please help! Thanks Paul

Get one end of the snap ring up, grab it with vice grip pliers, then put a flat head screw driver under it to help get it started, it will feed out turning the cylinder.
Third generation logger, owner operator, 30 yrs felling experience with pole skidder. I got my neck broke back in 89, left me a quad. The wife kept the job going up to 96.

I got the snap ring out. Thanks. Now is this end cap threaded or should it just pull out?

It should have a couple o-rings of some type and just pop out .Not all that easy it might take a cable come along to jar it loose .

You can use hdraulic pressure but you'll get oil every where ,wear a rain coat .
