There is two ways to get the water out. Either flush it several times or take the lines loose and pull the pins out of one end of the cylinders and move the cylinders in and out by hand but you will still have to flush two or three times to get it all out. Either way it is going to be expensive. we had the same problem and we changed hyd. oil in several other pieces of equipment so we could use the old oil to flush at least we we not wasting new oil.

Once you drain out the oil, you should be able to heat the oil up to get the water out. Don"t get the oil hot enough to catch fire but getting it above the boiling point of water will take it out. A steel drum that can be heated with a propane torch might do the trick.

Hope this helps.
