Installing My BendPak XPR-10AS Two Post Lift From Summit Racing! Is It Worth Doing It Yourself?
What happens here
The presenter realizes they should have run the hydraulic hoses before standing up the lift posts. To address this, he retrieves a spark plug and ties it to a piece of string. He drops the weighted string through the internal channel of the lift post, then ties the hydraulic hose to the string and pulls it back up through the post, successfully routing the hose. To access the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder for connection, he uses a piece of wood as a temporary jack stand to slightly raise the lift carriage.
Goal: Connect the hydraulic hoses to the lift cylinders.
