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However now the safety bar is locked and cant be withdrawn to let the ramp down, the hydraulic press has lost its pressure and is locked in postion so i cant pump it up to release the safety bar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

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..
