As I said, the bottom of the cylinder is crimped over the solenoid assy. If you gently open the crimp you can pull the solenoid assy shown in the other post all the way out. The piston and rod should then be able to be pulled out. As to whether anything can be accessed or repaired if the top rod seal has failed is a question. If the inside of the cylinder is rough or rusted then you might be able to hone it but how well it would work and seal to the piston is anyones guess.

The drawing is a generic from a Motors Manual. The cylinder is a repro from Hydro E Lectric from many years ago. I think they still have a similar design but the hose connection doesn't look quite the same as the original and as I recall the factory cylinder has a tighter more rolled over crimp.
