hokie1984, Is this the thread?: Convertible Top Hydrolic Ram Success

Finally got the ram out. I did have to work the body over a hair at that point to make room for the bolt to clear. I suppose the factory body welding was a bit off.

I cycled the cylinder a couple times. Without resistant on it there wasn't much leakage but the ram had a slight coating on it when it came out of the cylinder so I will try the o-ring fix first. Was the O-ring a common one available at ACE Hardware or auto parts stores?
