[QUOTE="Sam_French, post: 27297, member: 2556"] Hey guys. I am trying to replace the grease zerk in the rear boom lift cylinder on the right hand side. It has been painted in. Would heating up with a small propane torch and WD40 work? It is hard to get to. Machine has 11 hours on rebuild. It was running a little sluggish I checked the spy glass hydraulic fluid was on the bottom. It was full when I took delivery I filled to the top of the spy glass. It is now about 1/4 inch from the top. I see NO fluid anywhere not on machine nor where it is parked also has no hissing when running. I was "told" it is just working the air out. From an outside party. Operational wise it is very snappy. I am guessing I poured in around 2-3 quarts. Hard to guess when using a 5 gal bucket. What I did was raise the bucket and put two bricks beneath it. I got about 2 in of clearance wouldn't a slow leak bleed off and put the bucket sitting on the bricks? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
