Are these difficult to repack? I've done the ones on the three point of the 175/185 before but these look like they might more difficult?
Thanks

I have never done cylinders of a 500 loader, but have done different ones that have the screw in gland up front. The last one I did, I had to enlist help from the neighboring repair shop, and his rose bud. I had made up a spanner to fit the holes  in the gland, but couldn't hold it  and turn it. We ended up putting a 4 foot cheater on my home made spanner and heating the OD of the cylinder to nearly dripping, before it broke loose.
 After that, replacing the innards and reassembly was a breeze.
  For the spanner, I just drilled a hole , big enough to fit over the rod, in a piece of flat stock scrap. Then drill 2 small holes to press a pin in, matching the center distance of the holes in the cylinder gland. Next, cut off part of the end, so the big hole can be opened up to slide on the rod, and weld a handle to it.
