In all the years(over 30) I have been involved with HWH and Repair, the ONLY HWH part I have heard of being repaired locally is the Jack cylinders. Doug

I don’t normally disagree with Doug, but i have successfully rebuilt HWH slideout cylinders and locking cylinders with readily available seals and o rings. Its not rocketsurgery. The hard part is getting the cylinders out. A trick if you need to extend or retract a cylinder is to disconnect the OTHER cylinder, cap the lines, and use the extend retract button. Of course the cylinder must be disconnected from the room.

I found a shop in Florida that have done it and would do it, but I'm in CA now.
A couple of the shops here want to see it first, so I guess I will have to pull it and then take it to them.
I asked Stuarts if they had the replacement part and they did not, but I will ask if they can repair as well.

The OP states SYNCH cylinder NOT a slideout extend/retract cylinder. You have rebuilt Synch cylinders? Sych cylinders are easy to remove and reinstall. Doug

The final solution.
I took the cylinder to a local hydraulic shop where I am now in CA and they were able to rebuild it. I installed it yesterday and the slide out works great. Problem solved.
Still have not heard back from HWH on a replacement part, so I guess they are many months behind.

Cost for the rebuild was $367.
Also they had a hard time getting the thing apart, they finally figured it out, but did not give me the details. I think it took 2 extra days to get it apart.
Also they tested it with air and not fluid as their fluid testers were too high pressure for this type of cylinder.

Thats interesting. The working PSI of the HWH pump is 2900 to 3200 PSI. Doug
