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.

If oil is replaced by air in a hydraulic system would the hoist still operate?

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.


Does an car engine need to be supported with a hoist while the motor mounts are changed?

Either a hoist or a jack under the sump.


Would a hydraulic hoist still work as well if the fluid was replaced with air?

No, a hydraulic hoist would not work as well with air instead of fluid. Hydraulic systems rely on the incompressibility of liquids to transfer pressure and lift heavy loads. The compressibility of air would reduce the system's efficiency and lifting capacity.


What will cause the crane on a m1089 wrecker to hoist up but not down?

If the crane on a M1089 wrecker can hoist up but not lower, it may indicate a malfunction in the hydraulic system, such as a faulty control valve or a hydraulic fluid leak. Additionally, the presence of air in the hydraulic lines can cause inconsistent operation. Another possibility is a mechanical blockage or a failure in the winch or cable assembly preventing it from lowering. Inspecting the hydraulic system and components for damage or wear would be essential for troubleshooting the issue.


How do you install a Honda Prelude transmission?

This is a very big job, and if you choose to do this by yourself you should invest in a repair manual, second if you are an impaitent person, you should not do this!! and it would also be helpful if you had a hydraulic vehicle lift to raise the vehicle off the ground, if not then you will need a engine hoist, or at least two hydraulic floor jacks. and of coarse, tools.

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.
