Can anyone give me a hint on replacing the 4 short hydraulic hoses (dipper and bucket) that run between the control valve outputs/returns and the boom? The ends are hard to reach on on the tractor end and completely inaccessible on the other (boom) end. Is there a special crowfoot or similar wrench that is used for this? Looks to need a 1 1/8" for the hose side and a bit larger for the swivel side of each connection that I can see. I'm guessing these are 3/4" hoses.
Should I start by cutting all 4 hoses so I can remove the small manifold on the boom?
The dipper hose is the one that burst; should I just bypass the two steel tubes and go straight from the valve to the manifold output with rubber?
