Removing FEL hyd line.

[Singlecoil]

I have a leaky hose on my BX-24 FEL. It leaks where it connects to the tractor and I would love to be able to overhaul the end pieces, but I can't get them loose for the life of me and I'm almost stripping one of the nuts. My next strategy is to detach the line from the FEL, take it to a machine shop and have them fix it for me.

Has anyone removed one of these lines before? I'm not sure which nut to turn to loosen the thing. I thought I would ask on here before I really make things worse.
In the labelled photo below, does anyone know which nut to turn, what size wrench, or any techniques that would help? Will I first have to take off the line below it to get to this one?

Thanks!

In your picture ... Hold 'C' and turn 'B'...
You will have right hand threads and use wrenches that fit properly, You can get 'line wrenches' that will work perfectly but for larger lines like this a good set of open end will work, be square to the flats and you should have no problems.. KennyV

B&C come apart, normal right hand thread. Shouldn't be that tight, those are finished mating surfaces.

Awesome.

Thank you both. I think I need a 15 or 16mm wrench.

Pick up a set of combination open-box, you will have many uses for a set...
get a cheepie dial caliper to measure ...

Do not allow 'C' to turn it will twist the steel tube. KennyV
