Rack to pump hose...

[Dave Head <dhead@sundial.sundial.net>]

I was over a Mike Arman's yesterday assisting him (yeah, right...) in a hyd
pump rebuild (thanks, Mike!). Anyway, I looked over the custom hose he had
configured for his 5000. For those of us who have fought and lost the
battle with crush rings trying to get that damned banjo bolt in the rack -
this hose is threaded and coupled at each end. Meaning, of course if it
ever did go bad you just unscrew it at each end, leaving the circular
fittings at each end!
That may not mean much to most of you, but after replacing/reattaching this
hose 5 or 6 times I can honestly say that I've yet to find anything more
frustrating and impossible to do!
