replacing backhoe hoses, any tips?
I have a busted hose on my backhoe between the valves and the boom. I
decided to replace all 4 hoses in this area while I'm at it, since the other hoses are getting old. I have changed one of these hoses before and it was difficult to get tools to the fittings and getting enough torque on them to break things free. I have since bought crow foot wrenches to fit the hoses & fittings. I saw some 6 and 12 pt flare crow foot wrenches in McMaster Carr and thought the 12 pt might allow better access to the flare nuts at the valve bank (not much clearance between nuts). Anyway, I'm needing to order some items from McMaster Carr and would like to have the best tools for changing these hard to get to hoses. Any suggestions on tools or techinques for replacing the hard to get to hoses on a backhoe (Case 580B with model 32(I think) backhoe modified to fit). Thanks! |
