Hi all.
I am trying to disassemble the steering cylinder on my 1640 to replace the seals.
I'm trying to do this on the tractor but I cannot figure how to remove the cap.
It's a single ended cylinder with big ball joint at one end, then an eye to connect to the steering arm.
I've read reference to an internal snap ring that must be removed before the cap can be unscrewed, and I think I have found it through a hole in the outer diameter of the cap. How do you go about moving it to where it needs to go, and where does it need moving to?
Many thanks,
Michael.
