I have a 2010 Nissan NFS25A. The threads broke off the top of the hydraulic shaft on my power tilt. I replaced it & did all new seals while apart. I can’t find anything online on “how to refill & purge the pump” or type of fluid to use for my exact power tilt unit I have. Videos I’ve watched for...
