Older 2 post rotary lift???

[mustangmanny]

Hey guys I was hoping someone could help me on how to remove the hydraulic rams from my 2 post above ground rotary lift. I need to remove them to replace the seals because there leaking really bad. I found plenty of videos showing how to replace the seals but none on how to remove the ram from the carrier. Thanks so much for any information you can share. Manny
