Ok. All fixed. FYI for Bay Star with Equalizer jacks;
the two bolts on top of the hydraulic unit go straight through and are screwed into the bottom unit. There are two o-rings on the top unit.
Therefore, if you run into this situation and the bolt shears off, you can order part number 70355. Order two. Now, if the bolts going into the bottom of the unit are not corrided, you simply lift the top unit, off of the bolts (easier if you have someone to hold it up, while you work). Then using a vice grip, unscrew the stud from the bottom unit. Replace the o-rings, and screw the new studs in place. Re-seat the upper unit, and place the new nuts onthe stud. Snug them down, but -do not over tighten.

Refill the reservoir. Note, if jacks were not all the way up or were expelling fluid when retracting, you may have to add more fluid once the system fully retracts and stops on its own.

I think I will order an extra set to carry. Of course, now I will never need it.😂
