Have a rephasing cylinder on a Deere field cultivator leaking. How do I repack this thing. Has an internal snap ring holding the cylinder end in the bore. I’ll add pics

Get a seal kit for that cylinder, in the kit will be an orange plastic ring that you slip into the groove that you see on the inside of the barrel in pic 1. The ring is tapered and will properly fit in the groove, keeping the internal snap ring closed and allowing the end to slide right out.
I just did one like this last week, first thing is get the end cap freed up with WD and lube it up when you go to slide it out. Take your time. The orange ring will be mangled when you done so you've only got one chance at this. And the only way to get another ring is to buy another kit. Good luck!

Depending on how high priced the seal kit is, and now confident you are, may want to take it to a shop. They may have the kit unless it is a special Deere one.

I haven't tried it but if you have time I was told you can fill the void with JB weld, smooth it off and let it harden, then you can pull it apart,, then clean groove out good before reassembling

Sometimes you can take a zip tie and put in there too, won't fit the groove perfectly but it'll shear off and then be about perfect. Of course you dont need to worry about damaging the seals because your already replacing them.
