Step-by-Step Guide to Removing an Excavator Hydraulic Cylinder

Follow these steps carefully to avoid damage:

1. Prepare the Excavator

  • Park the excavator on level ground and engage the safety lock.

  • Lower the bucket or arm to relieve hydraulic pressure.

  • Turn off the engine and disconnect the battery.

2. Release Hydraulic Pressure

  • Slowly loosen the hydraulic hoses to prevent fluid spills.

  • Use a container to catch any leaking oil.

3. Disconnect the Hydraulic Hoses

  • Label each hose for easy reinstallation.

  • Cap the hoses to keep dirt out.

4. Remove Mounting Pins

  • Use a hammer and punch to knock out the retaining clips.

  • Support the cylinder with a hoist or jack before removing pins.

5. Extract the Cylinder

  • Carefully slide the cylinder out of its mounts.

  • Keep it level to avoid bending the piston rod.

6. Inspect and Replace

  • Check for wear, leaks, or rod damage.

  • If replacement is needed, choose a high-quality excavator hydraulic cylinder from our catalog.
