Has anyone had difficulty removing the retaining clip or ring from a Koyker hydraulic cylinder? The retainer ring is frozen in the tube groove I assume. THe gland spins freely but the retaining ring is frozen.

I had a Hard time with my K2 FEL cylinders. They are screw in Aluminum gland ends .
Had to use heat. bang around the circumference, and even used an air chisel plus building a gripping tool.

That sounds like a different style of cylinder . K2s are threaded.

It is different construction. Seems to be held by the single retaining ring.
