Hydraulic hose removal

[robbyr]

Thought I saw a hydraulic leak on loader lift hose. Took both ends loose but the fittings on the ends won't fit to pass thru space between cylinder and loader arm. How'd they install these at the factory? I could cut hose into but still wouldn't be able to feed new one in place. Don't get it.:confused3::confused3::confused3:

What model is it? You may have to pull the pin on the cylinder.

Interesting, got any pictures to help us understand what you're up against?

Edit, See you added them as I was typing. I agree it looks like you'll have to remove the pin.

I was thinking same thing but couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that you'd have to remove the pin just to get a hydraulic hose out.

G'day drop the pin out and remove the hose and put the pin back in I would not fit back in there just zip tie it to the cylinder.

Do you gain clearance moving the loader, up or down?

No. I was wondering same thing so I tightened hose back up to risk a little leak and find out. Turns out it never leaked again. Head scratcher. Even put out a round bale. Must have been a phantom leak or I was just seeing things. When it does happen I think I'll have to pull that pin as was mentioned.
