Been there, done it!. If you are replacing the rams you can, without removing pump, connect the cylinders but not install them (disconnect some of the line securing points to give some extra reach. This will allow you to invert the rams while bleeding them to get air to the top (and out of) the ram. You will need to pause several times for tea/beer to allow bubbles in the fluid within the resevoir to clear. Once done you can then install in position.
Also:
a. With rams disconnected manually raise lower the roof and lubricate any stiff points/squeaks.
b. Use suitable oil - not something that will stain/smell if leaks. Mineral, non detergent, 10W. Castrol tell me this equates to Hypsin AWH 32 which is proper hydraulic oil. This is available only in bulk but is the same as (here in Australia) Castrol motorcycle mineral fork oil 10W which is available in 500 ml.
