Any body no where to get a spanner wrench to remove the cap on the tilt cylinder at a resonable price. Also I have a showa tilt cylinder and I have the kit coming, after rod removal is it a simple matter to reseal and reinstall. Any help or possible photos of this repair would be appreciated. I have a seloc manual but it leaves a lot to be desired.

The Snap On man has them. Kinda spendy though.

Find something with jaws that extend wide enough like an adjustable wrench or pipe wrench, drill a hole in each jaw and thread a bolt in, the bolts need to fit the holes in the cylinder end cap. They usually aren't in there with a lot of torque, in fact sometimes you can just get them moving by sticking a bolt in the hole and tapping with a dead blow.
Reminds me of removing the backplate from a wristwatch.
They're not on there tight, they're just awkward to grip.

Something similar to this, you just need to allow for the piston rod, either drill clearance, gring it or start with something curved.
Once you see it you get the idead and can adapt to what you need.
we don't need no stinkin expensive tool.:)
