I have a leeky steering cylinder on my 2+2. I removed the cylinder and am currently trying to loosen the gland nut. The cylinder has two holes on the side of the nut and two opposed angled notches on the edge of the gland nut. Does anyone have experience working on these cylinders? I've been trying to use a hook type spanner wrench in one of the holes. I'm convinced I'll need a larger wrench. Does anyone know where I can purchase such a tool? I don't want to buy something that won't work. I've seen a few different syle tools on the internet but most don't look like they would work.

I'm building my own tool. If anyone else has a similar problem maybe I can help. I may lend out the tool to somebody local. I'm guessing that a hydraulic shop might even have to build their own tool.

I ordered the repair kit from Baum hydraulics. They have a great cross reference chart for IH cylinders. The dealer wanted $95 for the rebuild kit. I paid $22 from Baum.

Jason, I don't have the answer to your question, but I have a suggestion based on a lot of experience. Very likely you can locate a hydraulic repair business with the tools to take the cylinder apart,and have the needed parts on hand to rebuild it a lot faster and cheaper than you can locate information to disassemble it, get the tool you may need, order the parts, (of course they send the wrong ones) and put it together. (While doing this to save money, large amounts of more important work is not getting done). Be sure you locate a competent business to do the repair, ask pertinent questions, and hold them to their answers. Best of luck. Wayne
