It depends on which cylinder you have. Prior to SN 5019, the retainer cap screws in. It has a rod smaller than the cylinder bore. After that It used a full diameter ram that has a wire ring. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift.

| If your cylinder has the full diameter ram then you have to take the fitting off of the cylinder barrel and extend the ram until you see the wire ring inside. Then take a screw driver and move the wire ring to the deeper groove in the ram and then you can take the ram all the way out. |

Thanks Pete, I was just getting ready to ask how to find the ring. I removed the top seal and thought it would be self explanatory, but it wasn't.
