[QUOTE Hydraulic lines can be really dangerous too. If the line's pressurized, you can get a jet that slices through flesh like a razor sharp scalpel. [/QUOTE]

That is why the little Waite's tool makes so much sense, I have gotten sprayed with high pressure hyd fluid while hitting the hose with a soft hammer even with a rag over the end.

Here is a gadget you should have.
Simple Tool Solves Hydraulic Pressure Problems
A simple tool invented by George Waite makes releasing pressurized hydraulic couplers as easy as turning on a water faucet. Waite's Hydraulic Pressure Relief Tool works like pliers to grip the valve end. Turn a simple tap on one side of the pliers, and it slowly presses on the male fitting, gradually releasing pressure

I bought one for $34 and it is better than hitting the Hyd coupler with a hammer. I have no connection with George Waite, just a satisfied customer
