How do you fill the top pump fluid or just get the air out of the lines

There's a rubber plug in the top of the pump, you can reach it through the bulkhead with the back seat out.

Only way to bleed it is to run it up and down, then put more fluid in, repeat till it works good, let it set overnight to work out the lil bubbles, and do it again.

Make sure the plug is in when you run the pump, or it'll spray all over. Disconnect the top of the rams from the top frame, with the top up. Just run the pistons in and out.

The rams do not need to be removed. The air can be worked out without disconnecting the top.

The bleeding procedure is documented in the Fisher body manual
