TM 10-3930-653-14&P DISASSEMBLY OF POWER STEERING CYLINDER (1) Hold the power steering cylinder by a vice. Note:   Place pieces of wood between the vice jaws and the cylinder.

At  this  time,  it  is  a  good  practice  to  wrap  vinyl  tape around the piston rod threaded part to prevent the oil seal lip from being damaged. Fig. 4-436. (3)     Remove  the  piston  rod  from  the  cylinder.  Do  not separate the piston and rod. Fig. 4-437. (4) Loosen the lock nut and remove the ball joint.
