Who knows how to fill and bleed the hydraulic top mechanism? My top dosn't want to go up and down anymore. It'll run a little while...hardly moving the top then stop. I can see some air in the lines, although the motor seems to be running a little weak, maybe I need another pump but I'm going to have to fill and bleed it sometime anyway. I'm guessing the fluid resivoir is right on the side of the motor...with the filler being a traingular headed bolt in the end? I usually leave the top down all the time...but rain is coming. I threw in a potoshoped picture of it lowered a couple inches so I might get an answer (I won't read anything without pictures).
Check out: Convertible Service 5126 Walnut Grove San Gabriel, CA 626-285-2255 tech line http://www.convertibleparts.com They have a kit for the do-it yourselfer for $39.95 According to the instructions, you hook it up to your pump and run the top up and down a few times to get the air out. I am working on two mid sixties GM convertibles and I am going to use their kit when the time comes. Hope this helps
