Have 2510 with steering motor leak. Have rollomatic front end removed and right side (as sitting in drivers seat) frame rail removed.
Planning to replace piston O-rings, piston backup rings, and spindle seal.
For timing purposes, was hoping mark piston depth in bore first before removing retainer and spindle.
Behind frame rail, have the big circle washer removed. Can see plug but it's close against the snap ring. Seems a little too close to get snap ring out.
QUESTION 1: Is it necessary to loosen both hydraulic lines in front of radiator, to relieve hydraulic pressure in steering motor?
QUESTION 2: It looks like it will be a little tight for the plug to clear the horizontal thick sheet metal tank support. Is that ever an issue?
See picture below.
Thank You
