More Goodies...
The following 2 tools are a
MUST HAVE (IMO) if you own a BX25.
The flare nuts on the hoses at the BH Valve Block are REALLY close together. I looked at every tool known to man and in the end the most expensive Snap On tools worked. Don't waste your time looking at others, I did, just buy these tools. Trust me...
Regarding the BX25 and the leaks at the BH Hydraulic Valve Block I have been having issues with THE SNAP ON TOOLS WORK. !!! I was able to get that flare nut to tighten easily a tad and no leaks yet. Next time I use it will be the real test but initial start-up and test showed no leaks.
CROWFOOT, OFFSET 3/8 Drive, 11/16 , 12 Point (

And the SOCKET, FLARE NUT, 11/16 6-POINT,3/8 Drive (
FRX221)
Here is a picture showing both tools on the offending flare nuts! Between these two tools I do believe A man can fix most of, if not all hoses in this area w/o taking each hose off from one end as the factory suggests.
