Leave the barrel end on the tractor. Have a good set of snapring pliars. Take out the external snap ring. Crack the hydraulic line on the end and push ram in far enough to get out internal snap ring. Then pull out ram.
The hardest part I had was getting the seal in the piston that seals the ram. Also it helps to put the piston in the freezer and the nylon ring in hot water that is the outer seal.
