like Steve mentioned, loosen the head while on the tractor... I have done several loader / backhoe cylinders by pulling the rod pin at the end, unscrew the cylinder head, and pulling the rod and head out of the barrel and leave barrel on the tractor, hoses still connected.... take the rod and head to the shop for repairs..

have rebuilt lots of them for the 400 and 500 loaders can do in 15 min if they come apart and i do have the allis tool to do them 
do not miss up the piston halves they are matched sets 
also have been using a quad ring for the rod seal ,number 222 ,work better then the oring on rod 
would not use a hammer and screw driver you will damage the thread inside the tube 
also i loosen the cap nut before i take cylinder off of loader ,the loader holds  it solid to get the end cap lose

If you have a snap ring inside, grind burs from snap ring Grove. Don't clamp barrel of cylinder in vice over piston. Most don't pull that hard unless barrel has been mashed or dented.                          MACK

After watching the video, I understand better now how the spanner wrench is used.  So big thanks on that! 

Will it really take that much force to remove the cylinder from the outside casing?  Looks like he was fixing a much bigger cylinder so not sure I will encounter the same pressure.  If it takes a bunch of pressure like that, I may have to work on my setup.

Thanks everybody for the additional direction and tool picture.  I thought I would tackle one of the tilt cylinders first since they are smaller.  My seal kits should be showing up by Friday.  I haven't envisioned everything yet so may have some more questions.  Once I dig into it, it may be more obvious.

Here is one I made and one I bought. Unscrew the cap where the shaft comes out and pull rod out. There will be a plug with Orings and backups then on the end of shaft is the piston with cup seals. Pretty straight forward just remember where everything goes when you take it apart

A hammer and punch can be used in place of special tool. Once started to turn, it should turn easy. Tool could be easily made by welding two pins in a piece of flat metal.                                MACK

like you say, its not Rocket Science..... THe big thing is being able to unscrew the head off the cylinder to pull the rod and piston out... then having the right size socket to get the piston off the rod ( depending on cylinder design).... Im not familiar with that cylinder, but look at the HEAD where the rod comes out of the barrel and see how it unscrews.

I understand the value of using a professional and know that is the safe thing to do, but I saw this as an opportunity to learn how to do it. 

I have had cylinders fail on my equipment and waited days to a week or more to get them rebuilt.  I thought since this wasn't an emergency, I could take my time and not be pressed.  I do realize not every cylinder is built the same nor the process the same but this would give me start. 

I also thought these cylinders might be easier to work on since they are older and possibly simpler.  So I am not just being cheap in trying to save $200 per cylinder but trying to learn.  If the tool to do this becomes a problem, then I may have to punt and go to a professional.

If you have never done it before, just take the cylinders to a local hydraulic shop.  They have the tools and experience to do the job properly and will stand behind their work.

Bought new seal kits from A&W to fix all of my cylinders.  I have not done this before so I am looking for advice.  A&W did send me a picture of a special tool that helps remove the cylinder but I can't envision it's use until I dig into it.  It appears I have to make one like they have unless someone has another suggestion?  Here is what it looks like. 

Any help and guidance on the steps to disassemble would be greatly appreciated.
