Tilting the cab on an ERF ecx

I know its not the same truck, (but similar) I remember the MAN tg series would have problems with the auto cab tilt locks sticking on when raising the cab, usually the o/s/r cab lock. To overcome the lock get a friend to keep pumping the ram up whilst you hit the rear cab mount with a lump hammer, sounds brutal I know but sometimes it was the only way !!!
