Thanks! Besides talking about removing the peen with a chisel, which I tried but was uncomfortable with. Mine probably was "not suitable". The diagram is more accurate. Messicks showed the seal being installed after the gland head. If the cylinder gets damaged its bad news. "Spanner wrench" is...

Good idea, but I can clean up the tab and screw it back in place.

Thanks for all your help guys. Lots of great ideas. I'll get it rebuilt on the tractor and not worry about the stuck pin. The hydraulics are enough to turn the steering and fixing the very bad leak will do for as long as I own the tractor.

Thanks, yea I couldn't get pin "8 to turn and buggered the mount tab enough to decide that this is not going to get the pin to spin and loosen it. I don't know torches so I don't follow. As far as rebuilding the cylinder on the tractor I thought well let me see if I can at least unscrew the end...

The power steering cylinder dropped all its fluid after running over stump. I've tried many lubricants to attempt to get the blind pin out of the axle to remove cylinder for rebuild. Kroil, Blaster. The 3/4x2" pin has a welded flange screwed to the axle which I unscrewed and beat the hell out of...
