Review on Hydraulic Steering Cylinder Wrench HC5340 by David Cook

After using this kit for the first time I was disgusted that the hydraulic fluid started to leak within 2 weeks (right side first, left side after 1 week). Thought it was a crappy seal but did a little research and learned from others that the slightest imperfection on a shiny tie rod will cause a new seal to fail very quickly. Removed the inner tie rod, then took wet 1500 grit sandpaper and then 2000 grit and went the full length of the tie rod (take your time!). I cleaned the rod, lubricated it with hydraulic fluid and carefully assembled the steering system. No fluid has spilled/spilled since then, so I think that's the key. Much luck!
