I have a 1988 Johnson 225 with a front mount seastar hydraulic steering system. There is a leak at the hydraulic cylinder. I bought the seal kit, removed the cylinder from the engine mounts, removed the snap rings that hold the glands in place, but cannot remove the end glands from the cylinder. Saw a couple of posts with same question, but no answer. Should the end glands just slide out. If they are corroded in position, is there a trick to release them so I can replace the seals. I posted a question to Seastar, but they have not responded.
