Seal on trim & tilt cylinder is leaking ( fill cylinder )
Got the tool and two new seals , ( not just the rubber ) I see there are 3 seals which I did not realize when I ordered
Bad seal removed , Cylinder loaded with water ,
Problem I am having is loosing the release screw , Starting to damage flat head opening ,Tight working with swim platform ,
Will be replacing other seal ,
Other two cylinders probably filled with water also ,

If I can't get release screw open , , and decide too just change the seal that is leaking will I be able too suction all the water /oil with a vacuum , and be able too circulate fresh oil from the one open cylinder ?
I know the right way is too change all 3 seals , and will probably do it correctly just curious ,
thanks
