Replacing the Lift Cylinder

the lowering position and twist the drive
disk on the lever housing's shaft with an
adjustable wrench or similar tool.
4. Hold the angle nipples with a 17 mm
wrench and loosen the hydraulic
connections from the cylinder. A small
amount of oil will leak out.

washers are released.
6. Attach the hydraulic cylinder to the
forward mounting. A washer is placed on
each side of the cylinder ear in the fork.

Counter the angled nipples. Twist the
hoses so that they do not chafe against
any sharp edges. The front hose on the
cylinder shall run to the upper connector
on the valve block.
8. Attach the hydraulic cylinder to the rear
mounting. A washer is placed on each
side of the cylinder ear in the fork.
Secure the cylinder bolt.
