Hi all. I can't say enough good things about Top Hydraulic. In their vid, at the end they show rotating the rabbit ears up to lower the top deck manually (looks like you need strength of two people to get it to fully seat). Ultimately, my main lift cylinders were blown (both sides). Given its winter in NY I have stripped the interior and removed all cylinders for rebuild...by Top Hydraulics of course. Unfortunately you can't know what is leaking until taking everything apart. I am actually sending mine out in a few days. There is a great step-by- step at MB World that you can download. This is a $1.25 worth of quarters job. You will use all of them getting the spring clips off certain cylinders that are impossible to see. Other than that, the job is very straight forward. Don't forget to check your pump for leaks after removing all cylinders. Mine was fine. Fyi...I am not getting a discount by Top Hydraulics - they just seem to be a great resource for those of us DIY'ers.

The best should be between or almost max, you can buy on ebay is cheaper and add some with a kitchen syringe from dollar store and check again after few top operations if you see that is lower then definitely you have a leak
