Hydraulic Line Issue

[Buffalo Trace]

Hello All - I have a BX2370 and I cannot attach the red FEL loader hydraulic line. It has always been fairly easy in the past. There is a small dent on the metal at the end of the hose, but it doesn't seem that would make a difference, but from what I can tell, nothing else has changed.

Any idea what is causing it not to want to attach? I have tried pushing on the nipple with a screw driver and the nipple is not stuck.

It is very frustrating.

Pressure. There is pressure built up in the lines that you need to release. Turn off tractor, move joystick all around for the tractor side. Take two wrenches and a rag and loosen the fitting on the loader side to let a small spurt of fluid out-it will connect right up after that.

Okay, I'll try that - thanks for responding.
