2006 Yamaha F115 power trim bleeding

[rodbolt17]

update
as I could not get the trim caps off the unit due to wallowed out spanner holes and I had a spare unit with a good reservoir I made 2 units into one.

the original problem was technician induced.

I found the guts to the down relief valve and the valve oring missing from the pump body.

the parts diagram does not list nor show the guts.
it lists it as valve sub assy on trim and tilt page 2.

the pin in that valve is about the diameter of a paper clip and about 1/4" long and is NOT retained in the valve body.
it falls out eaisily.
the ball is about the size of a bb and falls out just after the pin does.

this valve goes into the pump body.
not to be confused with the valve in the trim unit body.

but all that remains is cleaning and painting.
once the paint is dry it gets shipped.

Nothing a good re-paint can't fix...
