REFLECTOR: Main Gear Actuator

[Jon Bachman]

Yes the washer and seal behind the snap came out with a good tug, but that's
all I could get it to do.

Jon...

The pump puts out over 1500lbs. per sq. in. and that's a lot more then your
compressor.... Did the washer and seal  come out after the snap ring...?

some firm quick yanks and it didn't budge.  The seals were leaking and
causing the pump to cycle.

last night and ran into a dead end.  I removed the snap ring at the end
where the actuator shaft exits the cylinder and could not extract the
piston.  Is there something that I'm missing?
