Thank you again hokie1984. I got the cylinders resealed and back in the car. After a couple full raise and lower cycles, I find no leaks. Before I put all the bracing, panels and seats back in I'm going to let it all sit a couple days and cycle them a couple more times just to be sure.
It took a while to find the optimum size o-rings. I tried three before getting two that seemed to fit tightly on the ram and in the grove it sits in. Hopefully the 5/8X7/16X3/32 I used will be continue to work.
A couple observations and hints.
- Getting the washers out of the indentation was difficult. I ended up grinding down a dental pick (a cheap Harbor Freight set) to a thin hook that I could work under the washer to lift it up.
- I got away with leaving the plumbing intact. The bleeding was easier being able to turn them upside down to bring air to lower connector.
- Don't drop one of the ram end nylon bushings down into the quarter or you have to open the window access panel and fish it out.
