So I've got a brand new hydraulic pump coming for my Takeuchi TB145...(for anyone who remembers my other thread, I ended up ordering it from a local vendor here in the US instead of ordering it from overseas...more money but peace of mind)
Any tips for installing? My basic understanding is to bolt it to the engine, connect all the hydraulic lines, fill the hydraulic tank with fluid and crack the bleed valve on the pump until solid fluid is flowing out...then let her rip. That pretty much it in a nutshell?
Theres going to be a lot of air in the various lines and pistons...do I need to do anything special to get the air out? Or just run everything back and forth slowly and fill the tank as needed?
Any tips/info at all would be appreciated. The pump should be here either the end of this week or early next week, so I'll probably be ready to do this mid-week next week.
