@JSinMO I'm glad I was able to make you grin, the valve is right under the steering wheel, so it pours into your lap, and then down into your boots
Good Luck with your repairs, don't worry too much about the cylinders, once you get one open you'll see it's not that scary, and gets easier and less stressful with practice. As David mentioned check the chrome surface on the rods when you have them apart, you want to make sure it's nice and smooth so nothing will catch on your new seals
The sad thing about my big backhoe is that the steering wheel is stuck on and won't come off - I had heated it red hot trying to get it to move. I think my next step is to take a zip cut and slice the hub so that I can work it off the splines...
