One like that is best left on the machine. As another post said, use a pin spanner, if available, to take the gland nut off. If no spanner available, use a big pipe wrench. Give it some love taps with a hammer before trying to break it loose, and as it comes off. The love taps will usually help it break free if it's rusted, which I'm sure it is.
Once you have it loose, loosen the hoses so the air and oil in the cylinder has somewhere to go as you pull the rod from the barrel, and as you put it back in.
With a cylinder as accessible as that one, I usually leave the barrel attached, and just remove the rod. Once the rod is out, either hold the end of the rod with the hole in a vice, or put the hole around a rod to keep it from turning as you take the nut off the other end. Check the nut for any kind of lock as there is often a set screw, etc used as a keeper.
Once the nut is off remove the piston from the rod, and then slip the gland off the end also.
With it off you should be able to see the rod seal/s, a rod bushing if used, and then the part you can see from the outside, which is the wiper.
Take the seals, O-rings, etc all out of the gland, remove the seals from the piston, and get them matched up.
Once you have the new parts, put them all back in their respective spots. Just make sure the rod seal is installed the right way or it won't seal. Some piston seals will work either way, some only one way, so insure it's right also.
Once all the seals are in, simply reverse the disassembly process to put it all back together.
This is somewhat generic in nature as there are many different cylinder designs. If you run into any issues, holler back. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
