[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1809415, member: 2383"] #8 looks like a compression spring, so it would be used to put upward pressure on the arm assembly (#1) and downward pressure on the tension arm (#30). If you look at your tension cylinder #24, it only has one hose hooked to the upper part and a breather in the bottom port (#45). That means it is only used to pull down on the arm assembly, [S]so I'm guessing #8 keeps a constant upward pressure on the arm assembly and the cylinder is energized to overcome that pressure and pull the arm assembly down. If the upper arm assembly (#1) is fully up and the hydraulic cylinder is depressurized and can wiggle around freely, I'd feel safe pulling it off at that point.[/S] Just be aware that stored energy can kill you. And if you're not 100% comfortable, paying someone who has done it before is a helluva lot cheaper than an ER visit or a funeral. Edited to add: I just noticed cylinder was hooked to opposite side of upper arm assembly, so scratch the above. Any way you go, I'd have to be able to wiggle that cylinder around freely before removing any retainers related to it. [/QUOTE]
