John Deere 5520
I wish to change the rear remote SCV couplers on my John Deere 5520. The existing couplers are the original "quick-connect" style. The new ones are to be the "quick-disconnect style." I am confident that I have matched the threads on the new couplers with the tractor.

I am assuming that I can just unscrew the old ones and screw in the new ones. With the help of some wrenches of course.

My question is the following: Do I need to be concerned about hydraulic fluid that may be under pressure? I plan on cycling the hydraulic control levers before unscrewing the first old coupler.

Cycle the levers with the engine off just to make sure. Pull the old one out and put the new one in. All good to go.
