Leaking seal

[Michael_S]

I've got an LA483 loader. The seal on one of the lift arms has a slow leak. Can I replace the seal myself, or do I need to remove the arm and take it to a hydraulic repair shop?

You can repair it if you're mechanically inclined. Replacing the wiper isn't a huge job but you need to inspect the rod to ensure it's not rusted, pitted, scared, bent, etc.
