Cylinder
Not sure on the threads, assuming you took it apart? Normally there's paint showing where it was at before. The cylinder rod can be turned if not too much pressure exists internally. You may have to bleed a little oil from it be able to turn it. Be careful not to let air into the system. Don't want anyone getting hurt!

Jam Nut
Compare it with the one on the opposite end, it they're close to the same # of threads, just jam it tight and carry-on!:msp_thumbup:
