Purchased new hydraulic cylinders from NPD to cure improper top-up alignment problem. Could use some good, experienced advice. Can the cylinders be replaced without removing the entire top? Just by looking at them, I'm thinking so. But, could really use some guidance from someone who's done that job before?

Any good advice to be had? Thanks.

They will come out with out the top coming out. Not too difficult. If I remember off the top of my head, 2 nuts and at the bottom a clip I think. Then just wiggle the top up and down a little to slide it out. And the brass fitting for the line.
