I blew a hydraulic hose yesterday. I did a search and have read all of the "replacing a hydraulic hose" threads and am confident that I can successfully replace the hose. But, since I don't know and the threads didn't tell me, I have two questions.
1) When I disconnect the hose all of the hydraulic fluid will stay in the reservoir and not come pouring out of the now open fitting, right? I believe it is the former and not the latter, but again, I do not know.
2) Are hydraulic hoses threaded normally (apologies plumbers; I do not mean to imply that you are not normal), ie, right=tight, left=loose? The threads and fittings are pretty rusted and I don't want to be working them the wrong way.
Thank you in advance.
