1997 snorkel tb80 boom lift

Hi, i'm new to the forum, i have a snorkel tb80 that has a boom extension cylinder that's leaking pretty bad, i'm not sure about how to get that cylinder out of the boom, i don't want to take apart anymore then i have to, it looks like to me it's going to be a big job, any help someone can give me would be greatly appreciated, i'm kinda in dire straits. Thanks for your time Kevin.

    Hi Kevin, I’m having the same issue. How did you end up solving the problem with the extending hydraulic cylinder?
