Default Re: Leimbach cyclinders

I've taken one apart before. I clamped rod side end cap in a vise just tight enough to hold it securely, but not distort it's shape. Used a small butane torch to gingerly heat rod side end cap to soften glue & with a screwdriver through mount hole on other end cap, twist back and forth till it starts to move, then unscrew.

Leimbach uses a two part piston seal, I doubt that'll need changing. The U cupped seal in the rod side end cap, don't know where to obtain that.
