| The hydraulic cylenders on my WD-45 leak, is there a way to tighten the packings with out pulling the cylinders apart. Never took a hydraulic cylender apart before so pictures would be great. The cylenders don't leak bad just drip. Thanks |

The cylinders on the lift arms have a "packing "nut that can be turned up to stop a small dripping. It often doesn't take much and should not be turned tight or the cylinder will bind.

| Look at the rod end of the cylinder. it has a thin hex part on it the is the packing nut. Allis cylinders are a displacment cylinder. No seals of any kind inside the cylinder. don't tighten to tight it will bind. |
