Running into trouble removing the upper pin of hydraulic ram (engine end). There is a stainless steel cap on the end of pin. Do you remove it before driving pin in to remove the ring on the end of the ram? How? Also, where to find a replacement as the whole unit is shot (leaks and motor is shot as well). Was a big pain getting the bottom pin out as well. Looks like they would use a bolt and nut system on both ends.<br />Ben
