changing hydaulic hoses

jt	Is there a special tool to use to get at the ends of the hydraulic hoses that are inside the housing of the backhoe and the rear of the tractor too?
John Roseland	Could you be a little more specific as to what model your Tractor/Loader/Backhoe is ?
jt	I just purchased this Case 580 ck and I don't know much about diesel tractors anyway. I don't even know what year the tractor is yet. I can't help much on additional info. I think I have to get a crowfoot wrench to get up inside the small area/opening but I'm not sure if there is a special tool for this job or not. Also... is it feasible to get a tool to make my own hydraulic hoses? What kind of tool is it? and where can I get one? thanks
John Roseland	You can get on the Case Parts Online website and do a search for 580CK. There you will find all the info. you need. Here are the wrenches they offer for your 580. D38971 TOOL WRENCH - crowfoot, 1/2" drive (For 1" nut) D27216 TOOL WRENCH - crowfoot, 1/2" drive (For 1-1/16" nut) D48865 TOOL WRENCH - crowfoot, 1/2" drive (For 1-1/8" nut) D28774 TOOL ASSY. WRENCH - crowfoot, 1/2" drive (For 1-1/4" nut) They are expensive but well worth the money. You may find a used hyd. hose crimper for $1000.00. Then the hose and fittings would be required. Also the fittings and hoses have to match the brand of crimper you have. It is not cost effective to make your own.
jt	yep, you are right. I ended up buying a set of crowfoot wrenches and that did the trick (and what a treat it was doing that job!). Something tells me that I just changed the hardest ones first. Nothin' like 'hands on' training I guess. Yeah, the crimper tool is expensive. Thanks for your help.
