L185 hydraulics

I've got to change the seals on the bucket cylinders. What is the best way to release the hydraulic pressure before I remove the cylinder head?

Just loosen the fittings to the cylinder after the machine is shut down and lowered.
If there is any pressure, it will just bubble out than you are good to go.

Thanks for the input. I didn't know if New Holland had a relief valve somewhere that could be used to bleed the pressure down. Its simple enough to just loosen a fitting.
