[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1660409, member: 38101"] I'm a heavy duty mechanic and I've done quite a few. Depending on the style of the head some require special tools to get apart but most don't. They're generally all the same inside. If they're small it's good to have the little tool that bends the seals that go inside the piston - big ones I just use a screwdriver to get them down there. Pay close attention when you take things apart and replicate but the main things to know are if a seal has a lip on one side that lip needs to point towards the direction you want to keep oil in. If an o-ring has a little flat ring (backing ring) in the same groove it needs to be on the outward side of where you want to keep the oil. Cheapest way to get seals is to take them all out and to a hydraulic place to match up. Least pain in the butt (usually) way is to get OEM from the manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
