I wouldn’t advise tapping on the banjo to unscrew it, I’d be afraid you will simply break it off.
A big set of stilsons would be my first choice to unscrew the cap.

Some rams the bottom of the cylinder comes off then you remove the nut holding on the piston to the rod and pull the rod out.

For a start off give a proper clean so you can see exactly what you're dealing with.

and get it off onto the bench so you can get at it tidy

Sometimes handy in situ if you need pipe and stilsons on it though

It's something to do with that:
It's like a big clip shaped a bit like a staple, I don't know whether to push it in or pull it out, but think it's holding the cap on.
I think you're supposed to press it in somehow and push the end cap off.

Looks like what jcb used to use on some rams. If it is that clip has a tight 90 on one end which hooks into the cap and there's a groove in both the cap and the cylinder. Cap pushes in and then turns taking the clip in through that slot and that's what retains the cap. In theory you should be able to turn the end cap and feed the wire clip out and then pull the cap out.

The cap turns the whole way round, but won't come off. One end of the clip will come out, but it doesn't feel right, hope I haven't broken it!

The hole is for a C shaped pin spanner. You turn the cap and unwind the locking wire as @GazCro describes.

Sounds like the other end of the locking wire has broken off. Retrieval of the locking wire will be awkward now but not impossible. You need to get hold of the bit you can see and now pull it out of the groove it’s in.

It does look as if the bit of the clip you can see is the 90 bend. Might be worth keeping it in place as it might help push the rest of the clip out

Old benford dumper hydrsulic oil type?
Hi all, Got my 1989 3t benford dumper and shes doing great. She has s leak on steering ram that I havent fixed yet, so I need to top up hydraulic fluid. It's currently got green oil leaking, which upon searching suggests its lhm or mineral oil. How do i know what to use? Should I go with this...

The pin which goes through them is worn so needs turning down until a piece of thinwall 25mm tube can be pressed on, then back into the lathe to finish it to 25mm then it's back to size and all the steering ram slop will be gone.
Thanks all for your help with that

It’s what I do!
Looks like we all on the case with this one! The ram looks like it is joined probably threaded just to the left of the number 4

No, they're a complex thing with a grease nipple on the end, it would be far easier to sleeve the original.make a new pin?
