Oil & Fuel release hydraulic pressure in aux connectors

[clemsbuddy]

I have a ct 335 bobcat tractor and for the first time since I've owned it I can't get one of the couplers to close I have followed instructions in the manual by turning the switch to on , then holing the button on the joy stick and hold it on the right and then on the left for five seconds each but I still can't get the coupler to connect. What can I do?

Hit the male end with hammer (soft) to release the pressure. Or you can buy a pressure relief tool from George Waite for $30.

Put a shop towel over the male end of the connector and hit it with a wooden hammer handle. The problem is the build up of pressure in the implement side, usually caused by sitting in the sun. The shop towel will help protect the ball and keep you from getting a face full.

Have an internet address for that?
