Enter the Pit
Enter the pit and remove the penny bolts on the bottom, remove the bolt that holds the lower shipping brackets to the car quake plates (red flag), and lift the car. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS HOLDING THE SHIPPING BRACKETS TO THE RAIL.

Raise the Car
Raise the car off the lower shipping brackets. Check for leaks. If the hydraulics are securely holding the car up, remove the lower shipping brackets from the rails. From the valve, manually lower the car to rest on the buffer springs.
