Unable to replace the oil cylinder seal ring. The oil cylinder seal ring, also known as the hydraulic cylinder seal, is installed on the hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor shaft. Specific details are as follows: 1. Oil cylinder seal ring: Prevents external dust and rainwater from entering the sealing mechanism. Replacing it would degrade the function of the oil cylinder seal ring, reducing the durability of the oil cylinder. It affects the viscosity of the hydraulic oil and the sealing lip of the scratched part, making it impossible to replace or remove. 2. Additional information: The sealing materials mainly use rubber and synthetic resins. Due to the different performance characteristics of various materials, their uses also vary. When selecting, appropriate choices must be made based on different usage requirements and conditions.
Hey, last time I replaced the car cylinder seal ring by myself, and it felt much easier than going to a repair shop. First, you need to find the correct matching new seal ring model, such as checking the owner's manual or searching online for compatible parts. The tools you'll need include wrenches, screwdrivers, cleaning agents, and gloves. Before disassembling the cylinder, remember to relieve the hydraulic system pressure—disconnect the oil line to drain the oil. Don’t rush into it, or you’ll end up splashed with oil. Then, disassemble the components, clean the inside of the cylinder, carefully remove the old seal ring, and clean out all debris. Slowly press the new seal ring into the groove, making sure it doesn’t curl or get damaged. Finally, reassemble all the parts, refill with new hydraulic oil, and test the cycle to check for leaks. Doing it myself saved me hundreds in labor costs, but if you don’t have all the tools, don’t force it.
