This lift was sitting in our yard for seven years before we finally had a place to install it. Once it was up we discovered it was leaking like crazy, so today we are showing you how to take apart the cylinder and replace the seals. This is not a full cylinder rebuilt, but merely cleaning it up and replacing the seals so it functions properly again.
It is not marked, but subscribers have suggested this is either an Eagle or Challenger style lift.

👍👍 success very good video thank you.
I got those same cylinders.
I find that boiling the the "seals" makes em more pliable. To put them in the bore.
To cover the threads from damaging the seals I use those transparent paper protectors over the threads. Sometimes the paper protector tears if it goes crooked.
To clean the cylinders I bought a nylon brush off eBay that was 48" long and put a scotch brite pad on the end, the nylon grabs the scotch pad and I hone with gasoline. Those hook/retaining rings are a pain i find that filing a ramp in the groove helps and lot with the feed.
