Default Mayfair Hydraulic Steering Ram Rebuild help.

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.

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.
Dean
