Hydraulic line to rear jack - John Mann - 08-17-2007 14:23
Well unfortunantely I broke the Hydraulic fitting on the end of the
line that screws onto the top of the rear left HWH jack. How can that
be fixed with a new fitting? hopefully the entire line up to the front
doesn't have to be removed to have a new swival end put on. Thanks
for some input!

No you do not have to replace the hole line.take the old broken fitting
to a aeroquip dealer.You may have to use a inline splice and add a little hose
so it will be long enough.you can get the hose from aeroquip also.

Take it to a shop that specializes in hoses. They have a portable
machine and can put a new end on hose while it is still on the bird.
Would not recommend a splice unless it is a high pressure repair.

When we got our bird 4 years ago, on the first trip, I read in our book
that the 4 jacks had the capability to lift the bird...thought I would
see if it was true....bird went up off ground on all tires, but since
ground was not perfectly level, fell forward off the jacks...what a
jolt!!
Front jack folded back as they do, no problem. The back jacks have a
small swivel built into the bolt holding them on, but right rear jack
busted the hose.
Went to my local truck shop (M&M), they pulled the hose off (only about
12 inches of it) and made a new one on the spot. Had them make me a
spare just incase I go stupid again...cheap fix.
