O-ring replacement on backhoe

[MZiggy]

There must be a tool that aids in the removal of the ring that holds the o-ring/ gasket set on the boom shaft? I Mine has two holes opposite each other and after trying a punch to get the ring to spin off I am doing more damage to the ring than I would like. I’m also assuming it’s a standard thread, left to loosen?

Sounds like you need some snap ring pliers to me. Snap rings do not unscrew.

Most cylinders I've worked on had the holes on the face of the gland and use a face spanner wrench. You need to get one with the correct size pins. Or use a pipe wrench carefully.

Other cylinders have holes or notches on the edge of the gland and use a different spanner.
