Yesterday I was using a hydraulic top link and it squirted hydraulic fluid above the seal, I'm thinking where it screws together?...a tiny but of course high pressure. It's not that old (1-2 years?). Do they make rebuild kits and how do take it apart?
Guessing I'm thinking it's about 22" collapsed length, stroke I'm guessing 10".
I tried slip joint pliers, take apart but wouldn't budge. Two depressions in top, is there a special tool for it?
I put backhoe on so I just let it hang by a wire.
I think I ordered it from The Surplus Center.
Thanks!

Take it to a local hydraulic shop and they will rebuild it for you.
