steering ram leaking

how hard are they to pull apart and reseal? looks fairly simple but the easy crap usually turns out to be the hard stuff

Ive never done a boat steering ram but reg hydraulics are easy. O ring seals inside. If your worried any local shop hydraulic shop should be able to handle fairly inexpensive. Biggest issue is no Knicks or dings in metal.
