Maintenance on the GC2300 Steering Cylinder

This is a real-time DIY repair on the owner's own GC2300: replacing worn steering cylinder retaining flanges that had developed play over years of use. It covers diagnosing the looseness, removing a stubborn tie rod end, comparing old versus new flanges to show actual wear, and reinstalling with torque and cotter-pin details. Useful for owners troubleshooting sloppy steering feel or planning this specific repair themselves.
