Nice job... just some tips.. Spray down the piston and cap with brake cleaner before assembly and blow with air to remove any grit that may be present. Also lots of grease is good at assembly. After screwing down the gland cap, rotate the rod several revs to seat the o-rings and seals/remove ripples in the o-rings.
@@jupdagstv In hindsight, I don't know what I was thinking when I made that comment, I meant no disrespect. Here I am trying to research how to rebuild a forklift hydraulic ram, with never doing one myself and I question your methods. I am not kidding when I say, I apologize.

that is on big pipe wrench
One would think a professional repair shop would have the proper spanner wrenches for repairing hydraulic rams rather than a pipe wrench
It does, but most of the time it doesn’t work

How much would a repair like this cost if a company came out ?
Maybe $400 for both tilt cylinder not including parts
From where i can buy those gaskets?
You need to order from the dealer or just bring the old oil seal and compare from your local hydraulic shop store
