Replacing Convertable Hydraulic Cylinder- Need Help

[JohnnyG]

OK, so the passenger side cylinder is pissing fluid like I do after a case of beer. I've ordered a new one, and the local ford should have it waiting for me after work. I understand that I can do this job with simple hand tools, and I understand i can refill the system with any hydraulic fluid... the guy at ford said i could actually use tranny fluid.

Anyway, i need to get this console type of cover out of the way to access the cylinder. You know, the big piece of vynil that houses the rear speaker, covering all the mechanical convertable parts... well, how to you remove this thing to get access to the cylinder?

And lastly, is there anything i should watch-out for when doing this job tonight? Thanks in advance.
