I have a Ford 770 loader with a leaky bucket cylinder. I've ordered the rebuild kit, but can't figure out how to dismantle the cylinder. Ones I've done in the past have had a slot cut into the side of the cylinder where a square piece of wire gets fed into a slot around the inside of the cylinder. When the retaining wire is fully inserted, there is a small nub sticking out, so it can be grabbed for removal. This cylinder has what appears to be a round wire of some sort with no visible end to grab for removal. I've got a few pix of the slot here:
