4) If step "3" is indicated, determine the remedy and perform it
5) Remove all seven top-related hydraulic cylinders and send to Top Hydraulics for rebuild
6) Put it all back together, add fluid and hope it works

This sound correct? I am a bit apprehensive about removing the pump assembly, but willing to have a go (any additional guidance or tips re that task are welcome)

Thanks for all the continuing help!
