Do I need to bleed the hydraulic lines on a Ford 7710

[scome98]

Hi there,
I'm getting ready to replace two cylinders on my front loader after one started leaking quite a bit. I was wondering if/how I need to bleed the hydraulic lines after replacing all the parts. I've read conflicting info. I believe the 7000 series has a gear hydraulic pump and with self priming, so I wouldn't need to, but wanted to confirm. What else should I be watching for? I'm going to replace all the hoses too (way too old and about to fail anytime soon).
Thank you!!

All you need to do is cycle the cylinders until all the air is out. Sometimes it takes 10 or mor cycles.
