Hydraulics Question

[Shemp]

I've posted before that i have a hydro leak on my ML230 front loader on my 3525 where one of the lines goes into the pump. I haven't done anything about it but figure I would try to do it myself without having to haul it in 80 plus miles to get it fixed. It actually looks like it may be just a bad washer. From looking at my manual for the loader the line is a pressure line so it is a screw on at the valve not a quick connect. At the pump it is a screw on also and that is where the leak is coming from. What do I need to do as ar as starting to take the hose off at the pump? Do I need to drain the system completely or can I just unscrew it from the pump and let the fluid run out. Any other advice is greatly appriceated. Thanks.

Shemp,
Put a drain pan under the line you are taking off, and start taking it apart.
