Could it jsut be air in the new cylinders?
If you didnt drain the old cylinders, just throwing them back on, would not need blead and that is why they worked.
It takes quite a few cycles to get all the air out.
And like JJ mentinoed, make sure the hoses are routed correctly. If you have one cylinder trying to lift and the other trying to retract, you are in esscence trying to lift with a cylinder that is only the size of your rod. Not to mention the twisting forces:confused2:
And were these cylinders actually new? or a used cylinder you picked up somewhere? New cylinders should NOT need rebuilt right off the bat.
