Flare nut wrenches are much slimmer and fit in places where there is not much room,crows foot wrenches are handy for pipes going on to a valve chests and the like,for pipes that are close together the flare nut wrench works pretty good.

Your the second one who mentioned a "crows foot" and I don't mind asking what is a crows foot wrench?

Visualize a short open end wrench [or box end]with a square hole[on same plane]to accommodate a conventional extension or ratchet to achieve a means of an offset turning effort.

What hose is it?? what function does it run?? Is it on the control valve or from the swing post to a cylinder?? There's only about 30 hoses on a backhoe...

Thats why us mechanics are "tool poor"...Many times a double angle wrench will reach fittings where no other wrench can go..Another wrench I use regularly is a 1/2" drive crowsfoot wrench on a 1/2" extension and breaker bar..Many times other lines have to be moved or removed before the faulty line can be removed...Fun , ain't it?

I agree. When you work on hydraulics you need a special set of tools. Often homemade. A crows foot wrench is a short open end wrench that has a square hole in it to fit on like a socket. I had the main hydraulic line from the pump on a Cat 931B loader come apart at the Cat reusable fitting because it wasn't put on properly when it was repaired by a previous owner. I was digging in soft ground with the hoe on the back when it happened. I had to crawl underneath to remove the belly pan to get at the hose. I was laying in 60 litres (16 gal.) of oil to get at the back two bolts on the bottom. Then I had to struggle to get the belly pan to fall enough so I could slide it back slighly to get it off. The machine was sunk in the ground almost a foot and had the stabilizers down. I hate when hoses blow because it's always the hardest ones to get at that let go. I also had the steel line from the loader valve to the backhoe valve wear a hole in it. I had to cut the line out with a hacksaw in two places and get the two ends flared so I could put hose between them to repair it. The only other way to remove the line involved removing the entire hydraulic tank and right side as well as the control valve and plumbing. This would have been a bigger job than pulling the engine and tranny which I also had to do. According to the Cat manual, you need to remove the 24 bolts holding the hyd. tank on etc., etc. Always something to fix. Sigh. Dave
