    I bought new lines and top cylinders and have the interior sections out already. Tomorrow morning I am going to disconnect the old lines and remove them. I am also going to remove the top cylinders as well. My question is...looking at the mounting area for the cylinders...it looks like the are held in with either a 5/8's or 9/16's at the top portion...but how do I dis assemble the middle section?


    Any useful tips from people that have done this in the past?


    Thanks for any help offered!
