Rexalot - 

Thanks for the reply.  I figured I would have to eventually go into the steering cylinder.   It's leaking oil out the bottom (I think) and I was going to have to replace the seals and o-rings anyway.

I'm still recovering from all the Sept/Oct rain and am trying to bale some hay and other outside work, so I won't be going into it until another rainy day or winter.   Plus, when he catches up, I want to hear what John has to say about the puller bolt, etc. and pressures before I go forward.
