Well, sorry for the delay but here goes. Putting the caps in, at least for me was no easy task. As mentioned earlier they have to go in straight. I didn't have a large enough socket to encompass the entire cap so I used a 3/4" socket which set on the flat spot of the cap. The problem was, on my back, holding the socket and now I have to tap it. Try tapping it with two months prior total shoulder replacement. Needless to say that was a NO GO!. I mentioned earlier about using a bottle jack. Had to remove tires to get jack in the proper position. I went to auto store to look for a socket. cheaper than having the delaer do it I guess. I found a 65-67 mm oil wrench which fit the inner part of the outter edge of the cap. Perfect! Everey time I got what I thought was perfect to push up in housing, it seemed to not push straight. Quite frankly it was pissen me off!. I went back the next day to try again. Same thing so I pushed anyway with the bottle jack. It went in really slick but just wasn't setting like it should. I took a hammer and gave it a tap. That sucker bottomed out perfectly! Damn, it worked. Did the same thing to the other side. It worked again. Speaking with a JD mehanic he suggested to use a dab of red or black gasket maker to give a litte extra protection. I had a tube of "seals all" which is rated for -40 - +150 F. Good for gas and oil on the package. I just put a dab on the outter edge of the cap all the way around. I attached a photo taked today. 2/14/25. The photo is two days after putting in the caps, refilling and pushing snow 5 or 6 hours. At this point all appears normal. I want to once again say THANK YOU to everyone that took time to write something that pointed me in the right direction. Every single input help me, it truly did!!!
