Unhappy Trim Cylinders?

Hi gang I took the afternoon off to go play and guess what? on one of my drives both trim cylinders are leaking so bad that they will not trim the drive up I can buy kits for these but What is involved with installing the repair kits? The new cylinders are 200 bucks and the kits 19 so you know what way I wanna go? Any help would be great thanks in advance.....

The easy way...buy the kits, take the kits & cylinders to a hydraulics shops. They will do the work for a reasinable price. They are equipped to handle this. You may not be. I do a lot, but specialist do have their place. Sometimes the agrevation is not worth it!!

Kinda what I thought 93F I have them off right now and I called Meeks Marine, the dealer nearest me and They said they would rebuild em for me today And for only 50 bucks each I am thinking about taking the other 2 also just for giggles. He said the kit was 7.50 and the rest labor but what the heck I know I could do it, I have most every tool known to man My buddy is a snap-on dealer so I have damn near everything he has on his truck in my tool boxes. Thanks I am gonna go pull the other two and run C-YA
