CK2610 Tilt Cylinder repair

I'll see if my neighbors got a slide hammer. I was thinking maybe a smaller bearing puller would work possible. I think I'm gonna have to use air to push the piston down so I can get a hold of it. It's currently all the way at the top of the barrel.

Push it in with the handle of an hammer. It will slide easy. It just has that friction from the seals.

I think that's where I'm struggling. It can't be pushed, it has to be pulled out. The piston snapped off the rod and is way up inside the barrel. The rod cover will spin but won't pull without something to get behind it.

I pulled my right cylinder apart, I'm gonna replace seals so both have new seals once I install. The right one was easy, piston still attached to rod. So I was able to just lightly pull and bump the rod cover and all came out nicely.

With the left, I have nothing to get behind it to pull it out.

My bad. I misread your post and thought the piston was pushed againt the gland.

Finally got it out with a slide hammer. Had to do some modifications to make it fit inside the barrel. Unfortunately, the rod cover is damaged on the end where the slide hammer lip was making contact. I don't know if it will work now or not.
