Below are pictures of my hydraulic O-Ring replacement. I did not place a 2” x 2” brace to support the corner of the camper. Instead, since I had the camper off the truck because I was doing a reseal job, I cheated and used a jack on the exterior. One issue I ran into is I had to remove the piston cylinder from the side wall and its support because unlike the instructions which says lift the piston slightly off to the side and up, when I did I hit the roof! The O-Rings I removed looked like they where new and did not need replaced, but they obviously did because now my hydraulics no longer leak – yea! I only replaced the two rings that were leaking, one in the front and one in the back.
