How to Easily Install Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Seal Using Seal Installer Tool

It can be really difficult to get the o-rings included in a packing kit to fit inside the grooves of the aluminum gland when rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder. The seals tend to be quite stiff and using only your fingers can make it hard to push the seal down inside the groove. This handy seal installer tool helps you twist the o-ring into a shape that is smaller than the inside of the aluminum end cap, then allows you to release the seal, which causes the seal to fold out into the inner groove. Typically you'll still need to work the seal edges completely into the groove with your fingertips, but that's pretty easy once the hard work of getting the seal itself into the groove is done.

This o-ring installer tool works well with front end loader cylinders that have a shaft diameter of: 1-3/16” (a bit smaller than 1-1/4”) - 2.0”. The o-ring install tool can be used with any brand of front-end loader that uses an aluminum or steel gland nut end cap which has internal o-ring seal rod wipers. This tool can be used for replacing the seal kit parts on hydraulic cylinders used on these tractor front end farm loader brands: Westendorf loaders, Great Bend, Miller, Bush Hog, Farm King, Woods Equipment loaders, AgCo, AgCo Allis, Allied, Allis-Chalmers, Alo, Alo-Quicke, Quicke loaders, New Holland Loaders, Amacsa, American Econolift, Ansung, Arps, Artsway, Bradco, Branson, Buhler, Buhler Allied, Case-IH loaders, Challenger, Chief, Chillton, Davis, Dearborn, Deutz Allis, Deutz Fahr, DU-AL, Dunham Lehr, Ezee-On, Farmhand, Fendt, Ford, Freeman, Frey, Gnuse Mfg Co, Henry Equipment, Hesston, International, JI Case, John Deere loaders, KD, Kelley, Kelley Mfg Corp, Kioti, KMW, Kubota, Legend, Leon, Long, LS, Mahindra, Mailleux, Massey-Ferguson, McCormick, Memo, Midwestern Industries, MX, New Idea, Oliver, Paulson, Rhino, Schwartz, Sherwood Industries, Skyline Products, Stoll, Superior, Tas, Trima, Wallenstein, and White loaders.
This tool will help you install the o-ring replacement parts when rebuilding the hydraulic cylinders on your front end farm loader. It will help make the internal o-rings fit the right way inside the groove of the gland nut so that the cylinder does not leak after you reinstall all the parts. Seal kits that are crooked or not all the way in will cause a leaking hydraulic loader cylinder.

Anyone else have problems installing rod seals with a seal twistor? Both of the (BRAND NEW) seals I had just crumbled apart the second I tried bending them at all.

You have a voice, use it

[@robaustin245]

You do not need that silly complicated tool to put a rod seal in. If the pressure seal is thicker than 8mm then soak in hot water for 5 minutes otherwise just squeeze in with your fingers. Do not use anything sharp!

[@jefffrayer8238]

I placed the seals in hydraulic oil heated up in a very clean tuna fish can. When done oil goes in oil squirt can and not wasted. Go gently as possible make sure they're in right order and direction. Nice tool if doing this often.

[@shaungutierrez9411]

[@brianb5779]

Rob I have a question. I see companies using grease for assembly. I also know hydraulic systems are very sensitive to just any grease. Do you know what kind of grease and are you also able to use petroleum jelly? My hydraulic system using ATF so i was curious on your input. Thanks

[@robaustin245]

@@brianb5779 Silicone grease is the only type to use. But use sparingly. It's what we sell to our customers.

[@brianb5779]

@Rob Austin Really appreciate the info and response Rob. I have a tube of pure silicone grease so ill try it. Thanks again
