case 530

how do you take the steering clyinders off

 

[Case530]

There should be a wire lock pin the in front of the cylinder by the grease fitting. take that out and unscrew the adjusting plug and then the front should drop off the ball stud. remove the nut off the back and the cylinder should be able to be removed. Hope this helps . Darryl

I don't have a scanner or I'd scan a picture from the manual for you. Maybe someone else on here has a picture the could scan.What is wrong with the cylinders?

The wire lock pin your talking about, is it about 1/8"and does it work like a snap pin or a cotter pin ? i already took the nut off the back and pushed the case forward but the ball came out of the cylinder, not sure if can be fixed or not will have to look at it when i get it out, if not any idea where i can get a couple of clyinders,..... Thanks a lot Darryl

OK i found and removed the lock pin, now why is it so hard to remove the adjusting plug, i worked at it all day, dont have the special wrench for it, heated it up as much as i could with a propane torch, all i got it to move is 1/2 turn. am i doing something wrong it shouldnt turn that hard
help needed please

The lock pin goes completely across the adjusting plug. with that removed you should be able to unscreww the plug. I was able to use a scewdriver to remove it. Hope this helps. Sorry I am late posting was out of town for a few days
