Hi all-
I acquired a home-built log splitter with a pretty beefy welded-tee cylinder (3" rod). The rod has a hole drilled through for the pin that secures it to the block which pushes the wood. Anyhow, I had to have some seals fixed in the cylinder. When the cylinder came back from the shop the rod is now rotated so that the hole in the rod does not line up with the holes in the block that pushes the wood. Right now the rod is fully retracted and when I put the pin in and use that to try to rotate the rod it won't budge at all. Should the rod be able to rotate? When I get the hydraulic lines hooked back up and push the rod out will that make it easier to rotate? Thanks a lot for your expertise.
