SHENKENUO 3pc Hydraulic Cylinder Piston Rod Seal U-Cup Installation Tool Kit Set Universal J05321

Excellent

I sell and service automotive lifts. I restrict what products I deal with. I had a friend that had a leaky cylinder on a lift brand I don't normally deal with and I opted to help him out. One of the seals was incredibly small in diameter and I could not figure out how to get the seal installed. I went to my regular cylinder rebuilder and they had one of these gadgets. So on the chance that I might get stuck again in the future, I bought a set and I have used the small one since then. What clever invention!

you'll never know simplicity until you try these..)

Can be a little slick if you have oil on your hands outside of that they work.

If you have ever replaced the internal piston seal on a hydraulic cylinder, you know what an absolute nightmare that can be. Especially on the smaller cylinders. The last one I did was on a small cylinder off a compact John Deere loader. My helper and I were just about to the point of taking it to a hydraulic shop and paying someone just to install that stupid little seal when I finally got it in. I have a few more cylinder jobs lined up and look forward to using the heck out of these.This tool makes it super easy! I tested it on an old seal I had laying around and it is awesome. I wish I had known about and owned one of these a bunch or years ago!

This product came to me as expected but when put when putto use to install a wiper seal in the gland, a weld broke. Kinda sucked and put me outa comission. Daughter put a nice bug on it and the tool worked well. Overall kinda cheesey tools but they do work.

I bought these to install new gland seals in my little front end loader Hydraulic cylinders and watched a video on taking the cylinders apart. Mine have round slide in rings for the gland and I found out that if I turned the gland which should spin freely on this type, It quit leaking through the piston rod. wow. Now I haven't had to use these yet but I have them. Great price and service to receive them.

I needed to replace the seals on my Kubota hydraulic bucket lift cylinders. Every video I watched described the difficulty of installing the inner seals as they needed to be compressed to fit snugly into the seal groove. One of the videos recommended and provided a link to this tool on Amazon. So glad I purchased it as it made the seal installation simple and straightforward. It may not be a tool that I use that often, but even if I only use it once, it was well worth the purchase.
