Found a small nick about 4 in from the dist bloc on the boom piston extender hose. Can get at the piston fitting but how the he## do you get at the fitting on the dist bloc? Do you have to take all the others off just to fit a flare wrench on the fitting in question? Kubota hose $34.00. Local dealer make it hose $60.00. Or do I just suck it up and pay shop rate of $60.00/hr plus parts and not get hands dirty? I really don't mind doing it, I just want to do it at a reasonable price. Anybody got any tips on changing hoses on the distribution block?? Thanks all.
Slight update... Amazing what's out there on the web. Found crows foot flare wrenchs and even socket flare wrenchs. $$$. After looking around I made an 11/16 deep flare socket. Haven't tried it yet but will tomorrow. Was going to post a pix but I don't think I can from my phone..
