You have to take the cylinder apart to replace any of them, so replace all of them while you have it apart.

The kits might be obsolete now, so you will have to get each individual piece.

The hardest part of rebuilding the cylinders in my opinion is getting the big net loose. You have to stabalize the shaft, but you cannot scratch it or you will create more potential leaks.

Not sure I would want to use heat, even though you are replacing all of the seals and O-rings. Others folks may differ.
The big nut that I am referring to is the one on the inside end of the ram rod. It can be a bear if it has never been off.
