Replace leaking hydraulic cylinder

I have a Raymond 8510 with a leaking right side lift cylinder. Is there a way to replace the cylinder without completely disassembling the entire lift? I understand the separating of the truck side from the fork assembly but the Raymond service manual shows what appears to be an almost different truck as far as breakdown and installation. The process involves blocking the truck off the ground but doesn't seem to provide enough room under the lift to actually work. Can the truck be laid on it's side similar to a Crown PC/PE when rebuilding lift linkage and get the job done?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
