[QUOTE="jjwelly, post: 115433, member: 20163"] Thank you very much. From what I've been told by the dealer, when they repair lift cylinders, they simply raise the bucket high enough to install the support bracket to release the pressure, then pull only the top pin out of the cylinder. They then unthread the top of the cylinder and pull out the top portion of the cylinder, leaving the bottom still attached. This way they don't have to remove any fluid lines at all, and only pull 1 pin. But I cannot lift the arms up high enough to put in the support bracket, as I have to do this repair inside my garage, which doesn't have high enough ceilings, not to mention I cannot get my bucket off no matter what I try. I am thinking about resting the bucket on a mobile jobsite toolbox that is about 3' high, hopefully giving me enough clearance to pull out the cylinder. [/QUOTE]
