Hello, This past weekend I developed a Leak from one of the rams on my Hydraulic steering. I am assuming it is time for them to be rebuilt. My question is do they sell a rebuild kit? Or would I be better off dropping them off at a hydraulic shop for a rebuild?

I have no problem rebuilding them myself just not sure what kind of seals I need. (I am also aware to check and make sure that there are no markings/scratches on the piston)

Thanks Tom

I rebuilt my I believe Marine Machine rams with parts from my local hydraulic shop. Here is a link where I covered it. Pretty easy and straight forward. Some times they are Loctited.

That is only the o-rings for 1 ram.

No it's all the wiper seals o-rings assy lube. If send it to jeff at harden marine they charge 60 more to do the whole rebuild. Jeff andcrew are good guys and the service is prompt.

Hmmm I guess they forgot to send me a second kit.

BB,
I think I didn't read your message correctly off my phone. The 109$ is for just 1 ram rebuild kit.
Sorry about the confusion.
