Hydraulic hoses on Case 580 ck

Not2clever ยท 2020-03-18 17:28

Any tricks for getting the hoses off that are hooked to the hard lines? I have tried PB blaster, heating the female end with a torch and cooling the male end at the same time. I sure hate to have to replace the hard lines. thanks for any advice!

    Mine were stuck pretty tight and removed together both hand and flex. Then placed hard hex side in the bench vise and was able to break it loose Could try heat, that usually works if it doesn't catch fire

    Split hose end with grinder .careful not to hit threads.
