any one know or know where to find information on how to fill and bleed the hydraulic top pump replacing rams that are leaking

If you have the original pump there is mark on the can to fill it to. Just keep running the cylinders in and out before you hook them to the top frame. Check you fluid level when the cylinders are all the way down. You will probably have to refill it a couple of times but the air will work its way out. Hope this helps

Follow flathead48's advice and be sure to use ATF, not brake fluid.
