Have rebuild o-ring kit; step 4 says remove cylinder but doesn't say how
(other than don't use pliers so no scratchee; duh!). Can't budge the
sucker so far so wondering if anybody here has done same and knows
trick? Kit doesn't indicate the bottom cap needs to be removed but I'll
be darned if I can figure out how to extract the cylinder--it's tighter
than I am stout, anyway.


....

Not to worry...took it to the shop where could put the body in the vise
to hold it instead of trying the lab workbench downstairs. W/ that it
comes pretty easily just w/ a pull when can actually get some pull
against it...

New kit in; test fire shows success...
