Horizontal Bandsaw Down Feed Cylinder - Oil Refill

Refilling and bleeding the down feed cylinder on a HF/CM 97009 7"x12" horizontal /vertical band saw. Over the last few years, the down feed cylinder has been slowly loosing it's effectiveness. There are no obvious oil leaks that I can see, but it has lost oil out of the cylinder. I found a video on YouTube that showed how to refill the cylinder on a different model saw:    • Horizontal band saw cylinder overhaul with...   But that saw had a separate bleed screw, unlike my saw. But I remembered a trick from an old car mechanic who showed me how to bleed a clutch master cylinder that had no bleed screw. Simply crack the fitting at the highest point in the system open and use that to let out trapped air and excess oil. I think this cylinder must have a one way check valve in the piston that lets oil flow back easily when you pull the piston out. Then that valve closes and forces oil back via the flow control valve when it compresses. Bandsaw listing on HF: https://www.harborfreight.com/1-hp-7-...
