      That's why you always use axle stands when going under a car. The entire weight of the car is being held aloft on the hydraulic jack by a small rubber O-ring in the bottom of the unit 🤣

    Adam, I have dismantled hundreds of cylinders with similar problems, aluminium glands are frequently a problem due to corrosion and subsequent galling of the threads. Applying heat in my experience seldom helps, as you found You only have a few seconds to remove the gland before the expansion of the aluminium gland catches up and then exceeds the expansion of the steel cylinder and then the heat softens the aluminium and makes galling/seizing inevitable. My most successful removal technique was to support under the gland on a block of hardwood and vigorously hammer all around the thread area on the outside of the cylinder with a heavy brass or copper mallet prior to attempting to undo the gland. This breaks up corrosion and loosens any cold weld in the thread. If the thread starts to get tight when unscrewing apply more mallet.

      @@tedsaylor6016 The short answer, NO. I had LN available and found it too difficult to confine to a small area for dismantling tasks. It was indispensable for assembly of interference fit parts. A big mallet beats the stuffing out of LN for dismantling. I always smothered the threads in Never Seize on Aluminium glands on re assembly.

    Hey Adam, Heavy equipment Mechanic here. If you ever have a pin stick like that either torch the pin center out a bit or air gouge the center of the pin a bit and often times they come out.
    Once some of the center material is gone and the pin cools its final od shrinks and many times comes free a lot easier.

      He said he's going to try his hydraulic press first. If that doesn't work, I suspect he will use his milling machine to mill out the broken stud, as he's done in many videos before. Torching could easily deform the eye shape.

      @@kindabluejazz If you do what I'm talking about and use an arc gouge it really doesn't heat soak as much as you'd think but does give room for the pin to shrink down. This process is well known by seasoned equipment mechanics especially in extremely salty environments and has a very low probability of deforming the rod end bore due to heating.

    Seeing you applying heat to a hydraulic system like that, reminded me of a cautionary tale from my early days in engineering here in the UK. Following the Falklands conflict, during which we lost Royal Navy vessels, an emergency safety ‘flyer’ was sent out to all UK manufacturers. This was with regards to the use of Viton seals and what happens to them if they suffer an extreme heat event, such as being in a fire. Unlike conventional seals which char, Viton actually liquifies and being a Fluoroelastomer, it can release Hydrogen Fluoride gas AND, if you get that liquified Viton material on your skin, there was no other treatment other than to amputate the affected area! Whilst I acknowledge that Viton wouldn’t normally be used in the hydraulics you are dealing with here, everyone be aware - if you are dealing with any such equipment and you suspect it might have been in a fire (or you are going to use heat yourself to effect disassembly), take all precautions.

    I just rebuilt eight tie rod type hydraulic cylinders. When I got the the 7th one, I found out it had a bent rod. I had to break down and turn out a new one. The guy that built all these cylinders retired and is out of business. Looks as if I'm going to start making them in home. With supply chain issues and the fact that a lot of guys are retiring, I find myself having to make more items in house. That's OK, that's what I do best.

Bobcat cylinders, and Kubota cylinders are made the same design, standard seals American threads. If the pin type spaners don't move it right off put them back in the drawer and break out the pipe wrench, but only put one set of marks in the head! 37years in the same hydraulic shop

    FYI, the ASTM/SAE standards for O-ring grooves max out at 5000 psi. If you very carefully choose your back up rings, and design your gaps to the absolute minimums and increase the o-ring crush, you can extend the pressures to well over double that number.

    You need a pipe wrench, put some heat on it and spray water on the threaded side to shrink it fast. A trick I learned from an old timer at Chevrolet school

    Given that aluminum expands much faster than steel, you just added to the problem by applying heat. A little shot of liquid nitrogen may have been the solution.

    I don’t work in this field so excuse my ignorance but don’t manufacturers make rebuild kits that provide all the various seals?

      They often do, but as parts get aged they not that often stok them anymore. Sometimes quicker and cheaper going directly to some well known general seal manufacturer

    It's interesting to see the method of sizing replacement seals but couldn't you just get an overhaul kit from Mahindra to do the job? And wouldn't it be a metric series kit given that it's Indian made?

    Aluminium expands more than steel - which is why the nut initially moved but then seized as heat was transferred from the barrel into the nut.
    linear thermal expansion coefficient of steel: ~ 7 (10-⁶ in/(in °F))
    linear thermal expansion coefficient of aluminium alloy: ~13 (10-⁶ in/(in °F))

    I know Adam is capable of machining anything to make a seal fit, but not everyone has that ability. Seems to me the right seals **must** exist somewhere. The mfg didn't make them up custom in their own factory. Maybe they're metric; maybe they're newer than that 2013 book. I'd have gone online and used 'modern' technology to search for the parts, maybe even contact the tractor manufacturer.

      Very possible but what is done ... is done. What he should do is make some kind of permanent mark or engrave on the piston or somewhere on the cylinder that the piston has been modified because the next person that rebuilds that cylinder ... if it isn't Mr. Booth ... might just order factory parts only to find out they won't fit.
