Yes- you need to raise the upright until you can acess the bolts. Chain all the rails (you'll need at least a couple 3/8 chains) togeather and make sure they're secure by lowering the rails on the chains with the hydraulics. Take a good look at the chains and make sure they're looped clean- make sure the chain is supporting the rails- not something is caught in between them. It's very dangerous.

We've done alot of them!
