[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 9677, member: 307"] Both good ideas. Anything that can be done to make the functions move easy will lower the pressure required to pump the oil through the system. Less pressure less wear from cavititaion while the air to escapes to the reservoir. I have done the reverse with cylinders when repacking them. Lift the boom to the top and chain it up with the hoist. Pull the pin on the rod end of the cylinder, unhook the hose on the top of the barrel and use compressed air to push the rod back in while holding the boom function in lower. Then when you take the cylinder apart it is almost empty. Much less mess. Ken [/QUOTE]
