Hydraulic pump cap tool

[Kneale Brownson]

The Bentley advises use of what's called a drag link socket.  They look
like   http://secure.data-comm.com/RB/Detail.bok?no=159848

The blade gets shortened a couple mm on each end and then will fit into the
big X on those mushroom caps.

Tightening probably won't do the trick because a leak usually means the
O-ring seal beneath the cap has become hard with age and no longer has the
resilience required to provide sealing.  

I just purchased a bunch of seal kits for these pumps for ~$6 from
autohauseaz.
