The location where mine pinched is just below the black plastic case that holds the wires to the lift arm. The up / down action with flexing wires attached to an immoveable bracket is where the problem arises. We just detached it from the bracket rewrapped it and let it move freely with only the hydraulic line left in the bracket. Still keeping an eye on it for issues.
As for the 2x4 – once the lid is open, I just stuck it in to hold it open and allow more space to work.
The hardest part of the whole job is removing the 5th bow lock if your system won’t open. Top Hydraulics show how to do that in their videos.
Best of luck everyone.
