I recently purchased a Crown C5 and auction and it came with a blown hydraulic tube for the side shifter. I already purchased a new tubing.

I don't see a bleed screw on the piston itself, so do I just bleed out through one of the tube fittings? I'm new to the hydraulic world but have an array of mechanical tools from my automotive background.

I also noticed the main valve block itself has a hydraulic port which I'm assuming is to fill the entire system?

Any help is appreciated. Again, this is my forst hydraulic toy and trying to learn.
