You have to unscrew the nut on the end with the notches. Then drive the end of the cylinder in to remove a snap ring. Then it will come apart. Watch the video.

You may have to clean the paint off the threads on the nut, to get the nut off. If the whole end keeps turning you may have to put it back in the loader and pressurize the rod end of the cylinder to keep it from turning to get the nut off. Number 16 is the snap ring that holds it together. Remove the nut #18, drive in #13, do not damage the threads for the nut. Remove the snap ring in side the barrel and then it will come apart. #13 is held from coming out by the snap ring and the nut keeps #13 from moving into the barrel.RLstangs

The new seal kit comes with a orange triangle ring that fits in the snap ring groove to help get the cylinder apart. Put it in the cylinder to get it apart and install it on #13 on the threaded part before installing the nut to get it apart next time. If you watch the video you will see him removing the snap ring with a screwdriver. At the end before he puts the nut back on you can see him putting the orange disassembly ring on #13.

Similar to what I was trying to describe, but yet different.
