Hi Forklift Action!
It seems that I can't upload a picture here.

I looked at the recent C500 thread that mentioned quite a bit of this but I'm not having any luck with mine..

I have a Clark EC500-25E lift that has the top seal fail, creating a geyser. It is a three stage lift with a telescoping cylinder. In attempting to remove the cylinder I've performed these steps.
Remove the block at the top of the lift that holds the top of the cylinder in place.
Removed chains.
Removed 6 bolts from lower front plate (4 are 12pt, 2 are allen). C in picture
Removed the two side bolts from the lower holder, the ones that spin because there is an impossible to get to nut on the inside. D in picture.
I'm lifting the cylinder from the top, I placed the upper holder back on there to lift from.
The cylinder is not lifting, although it feels like its just sitting in a cup, it moves around but it isn't lifting out. The cylinder is extending though. Are there any other parts to remove before this lifts out?
Many thanks in advance,
Steve
