Ultimate Bike lift, hydraulics locked help

[davidblythe]

My own fault really, knew the seals were going

TS1 has been on the lift for the last 9 days whilst I changed bearings and did some mods i wanted to try out

However now the safety bar is locked and cant be withdrawn to let the ramp down, the hydraulic press has lost its pressure and is locked in postion so i cant pump it up to release the safety bar

Anyone have any ideas

Just put down your lift a chair or a table and then use a car lift to pull it up

have you got a car trolly jack and some wood blocks ,or a ratchet strap...?

[davidblythe]

pair of geniuses ta all sorted now

far better idea than me shouting at an inanimate object

next question are hydraulic presses easy to repair

[sean brady scooters]

seals etc are usually quite standard sizes and readily available.....
should be quite straight forward hopefully dave...

Not knowing what it looks like david I can only guess the ram will need new seals which shouldnt be hard or even that expensive..maybe get the seals out and see if you can match them and replace your self..
