Replace hydraulic pump on 2005 TC30

I need to replace the hydraulic pump on my 2005 NH TC30. I can't find away to get to the bolts behind the pump. If you have don't it before, an help would be great, or maybe a link. Thanks

I've never seen a TC 30. That said I had trouble accessing the hydraulic pump bolts on my old Mitsubishi tractor. I purchased a ratcheting box end wrench for the job. It worked great for the purpose!

Thank you Roadworthy. I did try that and it would not get close. The repair book states remove 4 bolts, but do not say what kind of tool to use or how. I guess I am going to have to use magic.

I got it! We took enough extensions to make a 2 foot long one. With the help of a swivel and a 12 mm socket we crawled under the front end. With my grandson holding the light and my head stuck in the crossmember there they were. It took less then 2 minuets to get them out. If New Holland thinks they are going to get a Christmas Card from me this year they can forget it!
