Heavy EquipmentHydraulic Seal Removal Pick

This dual end stainless steel dental pick is ideal for extracting O-rings, and backup rings from hydraulic cylinders without damaging cylinder bores. The Indigo™ dental pick is an essential tool for hydraulic equipment repair.

Hydraulic equipment operators and maintenance technicians understand that seal failure in cylinders, pumps, and valves leads to costly downtime and environmental concerns from fluid leaks. However, removing old O-rings, backup rings, and buffer seals from precision-machined cylinder bores and glands presents a significant challenge: one scratch in the bore can create a permanent leak path, requiring expensive cylinder replacement or re-honing.

This specialized Indigo™ O-ring and gasket removal dental pick features dual-geometry tips designed for hydraulic seal extraction. The curved tip hooks under rod seals, piston seals, and O-rings in cylinder glands, while the angled tip reaches backup rings and buffer seals in recessed grooves. The 410-grade stainless steel construction provides the rigidity needed to extract hardened seals compressed by thousands of PSI, while the polished finish reduces the risk of scoring cylinder walls compared to rough-finished picks.
