ToughButterCup Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Probably a question for Ed ( @Construction Channel ) The flexible bit of the hydraulic line which supplies the auxiliary attachment burst . Just a pop ?️followed by a dribble of hydraulic oil that's all. Nothing was attached to it. (Or will be attached to it.) I've elevated the arm, detached the line, drained the excess oil (a cup full) ; and I'm off to buy another one first thing in't mornin' Assuming I can get a spare, are there any gottchas about simple one for one replacement? Will I have to bleed anything - I'm not using the auxiliary attachment? Ta!
Onoff Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Hydraulic hoses have a limited lifespan. If you can't get one easy or the price seems a bit steep try a Pirtek branch. Better to go to them with the old hose than have them come to you.
dpmiller Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 what size are the fittings? There are some cheap and efficient vendors on Ebay.
Russell griffiths Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Whack it on, move arm through a normal set of manoeuvres, check oil level, check for leaks. Jobs a goodun. No more complicated than that.
