   I have bought the seals from a local hydraulic supplies store. Cost a little more than I wanted but they were local and in my hand on site. I cleaned up the rams as best as I could last night. There is some pitting but not much can be done about that. If these seals last me 10 years I'm happy. Things seem to have went back together decent. 

Is there a specific process to tightening down those four bolts with the new seals? I snugged down the first one pretty much all the way but evenly. Cant get the ram to come out by hand but then again it does have new seals in it so hoping it will work correctly once I hook it back up for fluid.

	Did you soak the leather packings in oil before installing. If not your seal life will be very short. In every tighten them until live run them out without a load and compress them back again. After that snug but don't use gorilla torque. You can always tighten some more. Once the leathers are soaked they will swell slightly and slide smoothly. If you can't at least twist the ram with hand pressure it's to tight.

	I agree with Dave. Those packings HAVE to weep a bit of oil to keep lubed. Not leak oil , but you should be able to wipe a bit off with your finger after an up and down cycle.

	Yes I did let them sit on fluid for a while before assembly. The ones I tightened more, can that be loosened to allow the seals to do their thing yet or should I plan to replace those seals?

	As long as you haven't forced them just loosten real loose and push the rod out and in by hand before snugging back down again.

	Well her she is. Works great! Probably raised and lowered it a couple 100 times now and no issue. Very little seepage but that will only get better the more the seals swell up. She ain't no beauty queen but will save my back a lot of work.
