I am replacing the hoses on my Kubota BT751 backhoe that I have owned since 2006. After much fuss, I got the cylinder out of the base arm along with all the hoses. The cylinder shows no leaks and looks good. As you know getting it out and back in is a chore. While out should I go ahead and replace the seals even though it shows no problem? Also, if anyone has any trade secrets to help me slide the cylinder and hoses back into the backhoe, I'm all ears. Thanks.
