I had a bent rod on my FEL. Bought a new rod from the dealer (far less than a complete cylinder) and it came with all the seals.I tried that, and the shop told me they didn't have a seal kit. That's why I ended up buying the JD brand. Then I called them back and asked if they'd rebuild it since I bought the kit. They want $400 labor. I called another hydraulics shop and their minimum is $800. I will do it myself for those prices. I am going to look around and see if I can find a compatible brand new cylinder new, then I'll buy it and don't have to hurry the rebuild.
I researched on Youtube about cylinder repair (which was a complete waste of time as none of the videos showed what I had).
Long story short, the job was done in less than a couple of hours (would have been less if I knew what I was getting into) and all that was required were a pair of snap ring pliers, a brass drift, a pick with a hooked end and a dead blow hammer.
