I had hydraulic pump failure and you do not want to take any chances with the hydraulic system as it can cost you upwards of $4000 dollars to fix a single part in the system.

This requires much labor to disconnect all the parts and flush the system which includes the hydraulic cooler.

Absolute cleanliness when messing with hydraulic systems.
