Leaking Capilano hydraulic 250V

[robroyjr]

Good morning,
Can’t seem to get the o-ring cover off, see attachment.
Called Seastar tech support. And he said it just pulls off, suggested using a screwdriver.
I use two screwdrivers but it’s just chewing up the wood.
Any suggestions???
Any help is appreciated!!
Thank you,
Rob Roy

It's been years since I fixed mine, but I removed the whole thing from the boat and replaced all the seals. Seems like it was pretty easy after I cleaned up all the hydraulic fluid, in this case, ATF.

Thank you,
After three broken picks, I bought some metal picks and was able to remove the o-ring.
Thanks for responding,
Rob
