it's not the valve on the hydraulic motor. It's a small valve with a spring inside, quite easy to grab with 2 fingers and pull out the pin. it sits on top of the winch friction enclosure, near the winch drum, not on the hydr. motor.
The valve on top of the winch? Thatbyou can pull out with 2 fingers? But it should not completely full with oil, only 2/3 right? so I do not understand where the oil came from and spill out from there.
Or do I not understand the function of this valve? I thought its's to compensate the oil/air...

Thank you Ronmar! I think we should test it on a A1R, Third from Texas wrote me and I will send him a unit for testing. Right now is difficult to find a vendor for the MIL plug, but I will do my best ;-)
From the schematics I am quite sure that the important pins (solenoids, wet tank pressure...
I got the bags, but the problem now is to find a company that will be able to mount them on the existing shock. They are fixed with a metal ring, like hydraulik hoses.

I went not from right down, but fron left side. Due the detroit locker the truck went straight, by pressing the brake rear axle lost traction on ice and the adventure began...
Tried to winch me away from the fence, but at the same time front axle went to right over the wall.
Right...
OK, finally got the bolt and passageways free. What I did:
- screw of zerk and with brake cleaner clean the bolt.
- use plenty of WD40 and let them react for days
- bottle jack between suspension and frame
- heat with heat gun until fresh grease (not inside the bolt, but outside) became liquid...
Hello forum.
I'm fighting with the front right suspension, the front grease zerks is not taking any grease. What I did:
- change the grease zerks to a flat one to be able to put grease gun (?)
- use heat gun to warm up old grease
- use of bottle jack to reduce weight on suspension
nothing...
