Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Glendive, MT
Hydraulic cylinder repair is more than replacing seals. Mondak tears down leaking or drifting cylinders at the Glendive shop and inspects every part that affects sealing: the chrome rod for pitting, scoring or bend; the barrel bore for scoring; the gland and piston for wear; and the threads and ports for damage. Worn seals are common, but if the rod is pitted or the barrel is scored, new seals will leak again quickly. After inspection, we explain whether resealing is enough or whether rod, barrel, gland or piston work is needed. Rebuilt cylinders are reassembled and tested before they go back.

THE MONDAK APPROACH
Diagnose first. Repair with purpose.
Every cylinder is disassembled and inspected before we quote the repair. We measure the rod and bore, check straightness and look for scoring. If seals are the only issue, a reseal makes sense. If hardware is damaged, we explain what needs replacing or repair.
Cylinders can be removed in the field when the machine can't travel, but teardown, resealing and pressure testing happen in the Glendive shop.
