Changing out a hyd. hose on a skidsteer lift cylinder. Couldnt get to one of the fittings, so we removed the lower cylinder pin to move the cylinder a bit for better access. Got the hose off, but when we went to put the pin back in, the hole doesnt line up (about 1/8 too short). Dont have the new hose yet, so I havent tried anything, but looking for ideas/tips that might help. Thanks,

Do you have sufficient clearance to utilize a pry bar to line up cyl pin holes or utilize SS hyd system to align holes?

We tried a pry bar and it wouldnt budge. But strangely enough, when I got the new hose and we put it back together today, the pin lined up and slid thru as easy as could be! 👍🏼 I have no idea why or how, but it sure was a pleasant surprise.
