Replacing Bucket Cylinder Seals?

[PSDStu]

Getting ready to replace both Bucket Cylinder Seals and without having a shop manual I was wondering if there are any tips from those who have done this before?

I have had the cylinders apart so I am know how to disassemble them, just curious if there was anything to watch for when putting them back together again?

Thanks!

In a previous post I discussed how I had broken the retaining nut on one of the cylinder rods. That is the reason I had to take them apart.

I first thought that all I would need to do was to replace the broken rod and nut, but since I have replaced the broken cylinder I have discovered that my bucket drops after a short period of time which indicates to me that somehow the rod seal may have been damaged and require replacment.

If I have to replace the rod seals, I may as well go ahead and replace the head assy seals while I have everything apart.
