Removing lift cylinders - Model 751

[maccor]

I paid for and downloaded a Bobcat 751 Service Manual, but it didn't explain how to remove the lift cylinders (it did explain removing the tilt cylinder). The front pin seems pretty straight-forward, but the back looks like a bear. Is there a trick to being able to access the inboard side of the pivot pin? Or something to make it look easier than needing Stretch Armstrong for a mechanic? Thanks, Mike

On my machine, there is a threaded hole in the outboard end of the pin that you thread a slide hammer into (via an adapter) and extract them that way.

Generally there is enough space inside the frame to knock the pins right through and inside the engine bay. The only thing that can get in the way is the air intake hose, but you should be able to twist it a little to get it past.
