I'm currently working on the steering cylinder from an L4200DT. I have the cylinder out and (somewhat) dismantled. Except for one of the wire rings that hold the head/seal retainer in the barrel. I fought with it for a while today with no luck. I can't get a good enough angle to slip a pick under it. My next attempt will involve a welding tip and heating the center of it to soften it and maybe I can get under it that way. I've had to do that before in some cases.
I just wonder what others do/use to get these out? This package is evidently common to a large number of L series DT models, so I know a number of you have had to deal with it before. What works for you?
