Busted Hydrolic hose on my 555A crawler/loader. Its the one if your sitting in the operator seat it's at your left at about knee high behinf a cover plate and also behind numerous steel hydrolic lines. I need to replace both of thease
hard rubber hoses but have know idea of how to get a wrench in there to get them off. I have removed the pin from the large ram but of course the bucket is in the down position and I see know way of getting a wrench on the fittings to get them off and on. Any help would be appreciated.

I cant visualize exactly what you've got there, but I had to replace one of my main lift cylinder hoses on my IH tracked loader. It was tucked away next to the main lift cylinder's pivot point between the loader frame and the tractor frame. It was very tightly boxed in, and almost completely inaccessible. I really didn't know how to get it off at first, but eventually I figured out if I removed one end of the hose (which I could get to with at least some facility), I could "thread" the hose through a box end wrench (just like a needle and thread). Then slide the wrench along the length of the hose, working the wrench into the tight space between the loader and tractor frame. It wasn't easy but after awhile I finally got the wrench situated onto the hydraulic line's threaded connector. The wrench could only move a few degrees at a time, but it was just barely enough to get the nut to crack loose. And after it was loose I could then use the disconnected end of the hose (which I disconnected earlier so as to "thread" the wrench) to unscrew the remaining amount by hand using it as a sort of flexible driveshaft.

Also, if you have to you can cut the hose you're trying to replace. If it's already blown or is to be replaced regardless, then it won't matter anyway. That might also make enough room for you to maneuver a wrench, although it may not allow you that same luxury for reassembly.

Not sure if any of this helps, but it worked for me. Hopefully your machine will be similar, good luck.
