Best Answer

Most hydraulic ram cylinders should have a refill plug about half way up the barrel.

1) Position the cylinder vertically, and collapse the ram all the way down.

2) With the plug pulled out, fill the cylinder with hydraulic jack oil until it drips out the plug hole.

3) All done. Place the plug back in and test the functionality.

Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.

How can you pull out your motor without an motor hoist?

Get a Russian guy to help you lift it out. Just kidding, but you should use an engine hoist. Maybe a forklift, tractor, or bobcat but its best to use a hoist because its important to go very slow and you have to pull the engine forward first, then up.
