Re: Ram Assist Power Steering Rebuild w/Pics

First let me say that the ram cylinder is technically not rebuildable because you can't open the unit. The only service you can do is replace the seals and rebuild the ball stud. If yours is damaged in any way it will need to replaced.
This is what came in the kit:


First are the cylinder rod seals. A snap ring holds everything in place, then a copper washer.


Then a fiber washer.


Then a rubber seal that proved very difficult to remove. It is a flat metal washer that is encased in rubber and sits down in a seat. It took a good 20 minutes of careful digging with various tools to finally get it out.


Here is everything removed in the order it came off.
