Using a block or dowel of wood(maybe rubber mallet also), depress the top cap of the cylinder to relieve tension on the ring.
Use a small edged screw driver or pick and spin "retainer" in until the bent end comes to the opening.
Lift up and rotate the ring more to allow the ring to pass over the edge of the opening.
Once the retainer is started you can tap it with the wood and rubber mallet around the circumference of the cylinder to release the retainer from the groove.
If you havent done so by now the oil should be drained.
with the cylinder firm in vise(but not too firm to "distort the integrity of the cylinder.) Place the cylinder Sideways so you can pull out piston and rod assembly.*** Put hose or suitable drain on holes of cylinder***. With the motion of the piston the residual oil will tend to spray out.
Pull on the piston and position it to bottom out on the top gland(cap) ie:full extension
Place support under the rod to avoid damage. The gland is a tight tolerant fit with use of O-rings and backup rings. Too much offset can lead to damaging gland assembly, and jamming in the cylinder. You may be able to just hold with hand also depends on size, bore, stroke, pressure rating. Use due dilligence.
Now that its out you have the piston assembly with gland in hand..**if only the rod comes out there are more steps to take, and you need a new rod but sometimes its more cost effective to buy a new cylinder. If there is a farm supplier or hydraulic dealer near they can certifiably /replace repair the cylinder for you. Hydraulic pressure is kind of like lightening. If it strikes you under pressure it can kill you.*** Using the dead blow or rubber mallet try to pop the gland out by using the piston/rod assembly as the puller. You may not have to remove the top clevice or other end of the cylinder, so maybe you could tap on that.
The piston can be removed from the rod depending again on make. Usually a socket head cap screw or king nut holding it in place to the rod.
When the piston is removed you should be able to slide gland off also.
You'll need that pick and or the screwdriver to pick out the seals carefully. Let me know if you require more...WF Services

I don't think these would have a "user refill point". I would suggest taking one off and take it to a cylinder rebuilder. If they can't do it then it will have to be replaced. Someone that rebuilds hydraulic cylinders would be a farm implement service shop.
Do you have a hydraulic operated clutch? The slave cylinder for a hydraulic clutch would be on or sometimes inside the bell housing. Some ford and chevy trucks put the slave cylinder in a very difficult to reach place-the transmission has to be removed to service the slave cylinder. Most cars have the slave cylinder mounted on the outside of the bell housing. If they leak, replace or rebuild, although those internal slave cylinders I think can only be replaced.

Hello there:
when you dissconnected the hoses did you turn the cylinder upside down and let it drain cause some hydraulic lift assybelies have a small chamber in the head of them that retain fluid and with out removing the fluid it will do a hydraulic lock and wont be able to move untill you losen the bleeder screw if it has one ok please let me know how this goes for you
Hydraulic leaks are typically a result of seals/o-rings wearing out. If you gave a leak coming from the cylinder you will probably have to replace the cylinder. Unless you are can do the repair yourself its unlikely that you will find someone who can rebuild it for less than a new one costs
