Have new pentosin ready, though, as plenty will leak out. This isn't all bad as you get to put fresh fluid in. (HINT: Having a plug ready for the hose coming out of the reservoir will limit the leakage.) > > What are the sizes of the Hose connectors?

Suggest you buy a set of three metric tubing wrenches - each has two different sizes, one on each end. They cover most situations. If you GOTTA know, slide under there. I just feeli like a set of tubing wrenches is worth having for when emergencies arise. I even keep both SEA and metric, because sometimes the SAE's will bail you out - some sizes are interchangeable. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Al Powell Voice: 409/845-2807 Ag Communications Fax: 409/862-1202 107 Reed McDonald Bldg.
