Hydraulic Question - Disconnecting lines & removing cylinders.

[ttj49]

I know nothing about hydraulics. I'm removing two cylinders, and three or four lines to have cylinders rebuilt and new lines made for my B1630 FEL. When I re-install the lines and cylinders, do I have to "bleed' the hydraulic system to remove any air in the lines? Thanks in advance.......

It should bleed the air out after a few minutes of running while you cycle the system. Just run the new rams in and out a couple of times and it should be ready to go.

Don't forget to check the fluid level after you run it for a few minutes.

Yup, the system will bleed itself of any air.
