[Cheesedog]

I have a leak!!!! I'm trying to find pre alpha trim cylinder (used) or a repair kit with seals etc. the casting number is #45520. If anyone knows where to find this please let me know as this is a rare item. I'm from Canada and most eBay sellers wont ship to Canada from the states.

If this is a 1968 to 1983 cylinder, here is a rebuild kit

When you rebuild it the lower piston or "inner tube guide" may refuse to come out. When I did mine I got all kinds of advice including screwing a self taping screw into it and pull it out that way. What worked best for me was to use the self taping screw as a plug. Then I made an adapter for the hydraulic port to match my grease gun. I then "hydraulically" pushed the old one out. Good luck.
