Kubota L345DT, Yanmar 1500D,
One of my bucket cylinders on the Kubota L48 started leaking and I'm having a tough time finding a wrench to take out the gland nut. All the ones I see are for face holes on the gland nut, my holes are 1/4" and.on the outside of the gland nut. Any ideas?

That's what dealers are for.

@al b - Look up a Hook Spanner Wrench

Since its a hole....more technically it would be a "pin spanner"

A pipe wrench also works.

Easiest to break it loose while the cylinder is still installed on the machine. No better way to "hold" the cylinder than how its is mounted

That's what I was thinking

I would like something like a gland nut wrench that would catch both holes for a better grip but I can't find it.
