[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3489, member: 82"] I think it would be alot easier if you pulled the engine, seriously its not that hard to remove/replace. I have never tried to remove the control block with the tube lines still in the machine, when i did it i was removing EVERYTHING so it made it so easy. You really need a 1“ flare nut spanner to make it easier, i just used shifters and open end spanners, but i could remove complete tube lines to gain access. If you have a few friends that can give you some help, i would pull the engine. Just un-do the 4 mounting bolts, exhaust, coolant hoses and any wiring and fuel. Use a small crow bar to juggle the engine back. Get 2 old milk crates and a sheet of steel or wood to make like a table behind the machine. Lift and drag the engine out on to the make shift table. If you had a small hoist it is very easy, just use it to take up the slack and use the bar to move the engine back and on to the bench. If you pull the engine, make sure you check your universal joints!!! and grease them up good. If these lock up, they can damage your pump. With that said, you may still be able to do it without pulling the engine, but it will be horrible! That hose you mention, thats the return hose i think, i think i left it attached to the control block, as you can't get to the nut. Sorry i can't be of more help :/ just be patient with it, you will get it out. [/QUOTE]
