I have decided to rebuild my cylinders myself and here is my tilt cylinder being disassembled while still on the tractor.
I welded a brace across the loader lift arms to support the housing so that it could not fall and crush any lines etc.
I loosened the bolts and used the machines hydraulics to push the cap out some. It also blew out the old and worn seals. The bolts require a 1.5" socket and 2 of them require a thin wall socket. So my 1" impact sockets would not fit and I had to use a 3/4 Drive standard socket with an adapter to a 1" drive since my 3/4" drive bar could not handle the 5 foot cheater pipe. I broke the lines loose and attempted to pull it out by hand but it was not happening, I then attempted to use a 4 x 4 atv. Nope. Ended up needing the second forklift to pull it out of the bore. The rod weighs about 150 to 175 lbs so have a hoist or something holding it up so it does not fall down
