Hi All, I carried out a 1,000 hour service on my KX71-3 at the weekend, but couldn't complete it. The final step was to replace the hydraulic pilot filter element, but I couldn't get to it. The manual shows it is in the engine compartment to the left above the exhaust silencer. There is a black steel cover that I cannot see how to remove. Has anybody done this before who could give me some guidance? I've attached a picture from the manual, and some pics of the engine bay and the offending black cover. any advice would be appreciated as I am new to hydraulics, and mini excavators. cheers, Russ
