That's a bummer. The counterweight really is the fly in the ointment. Everything else, at least on our old Yale and newish Toyota, was or looks to be simple. About 15 years ago we put a rebuilt engine in our now retired Yale lift but we had the luxury of our indoor electric lift to get the weight off and pull the block. Once that weight is out of the way, it really opens things up and you can see all of the mounting points. Obviously nothing Hyster specific but I can't imagine it would be terribly complicated. Getting the weight off might be the toughest part of the project.
