Had to manually raise top. Ram did not fully extend/flip. Side windows do not raise due to switch remaining open. How much force can I use to flip ram connection to top frame? Valve is open. Seats and back removed. Thought of using wood block as a wedge. Cautionary warnings welcome.

 

yes, I ve used a stick to lock frame in place prior to my top overhaul. Does not take a lot of pressure, just the leverage.

 

Should be threads on here about flushing the oil. Have a search.
