SpeedDemon is RIGHT contact Dennis. It is really easy. I think I used the following tools:
? 15mm - remove the lower cylinder bolt
phillips screwdriver - remove the screw that holds the back panels
flat head screwdriver - remove the clamp holding the top on the cylinder and the hydrallic clamps
8mm - remove the screw that holds the storage compartment
pliers - remove the vaccum lines for the lock to the back storage compartment
10mm & long extension: to remove the bose base box

I think those are all the tools I used. when you get ready to do it you can give me a call and I will help you. Send me an email with your phone number.

Sorry guys i have not been doing much posting here , i have been busy trying to take care of somethings , but i got good news i was able to get in touch with Dennis and i will be sending him the cylinders soon. Here are some pics of what i did i will try to put up a DYI later on but i didn't do much i had my dad help me or do for me almost everything , those videos really did all the work to tell you the truth after that it was easy.

Enjoy ,I will make sure to put something together like a DYI later on to show you guys how to do this your self.

Leaking Cylinders

Do yourself a Big Favor and do what everyone else has been saying. Call Dennis Ficken! There are several Forum Members who specialize in their own niche. for example, Bob Terry with electronics, Lynn S. with the ability to search the forum and come up with helpful sites and postings and, of course, Dennis Ficken who does an outstanding job with the hydraulic cylinders. Those guys are the first tools you'll need.
It is a complicated job to get to those cylinders, but I did it with Dennis' help and you can too. Think Positively! SpeedDemon

I believe it's your rear hydraulics.
Use the search or try Lynn’s recent compilation threads on the first few pages.
