Vert cylinder removal I am leaking fluid under my passenger back seat. Any advice on what to remove to get to that cylinder. Mabe the 3 bolts that hold the frame has to be removed and i could lift the frame up to get at the cylinder. Anyone do this?
Cylinder is easy to remove. First remove the plastic trim in the back seat area by removing that big Torx bolt that the folding seat latches into. Then you will see a hole that gives you access to the lower cylinder bolt (I also think it's a Torx, but a smaller one). The top of the cylinder is held in by a pin that's kept by a cotter pin. Once the cylinder is loose, I would probably pull the whole thing out through the trunk so you can disconnect the hydraulic line outside the car so you can make a mess on the garage floor instead of in the car.
