Have you pulled the rear seat and panels out yet?

Thanks. Yes I've seen that diagram. My problem is that the roof is up and I can't access the top pin to remove the ram. Not game enough to start undoing bolts without a little knowledge. Only had the car a few weeks

Undo a fitting or two and lower manually. Have a bucket or pan ready for fluid.

That was my first thought. So basically disconnect the pump and go slow?. I assume the top pin then becomes accessible
