The ones on the back of the engine are tough to get at, but it can be done. I didn't pull the hydro reservoir or the fan shroud. First, block the rear of the machine under the engine. Do not skip this step. This thing can get tippy and you don't want it to go over backwards (almost happened to me!). Second, I ran the lift arms up and used the lift arm cylinder lock to hold them up. If yours is missing, prop the arms up with a 4x4 so they can't fall on you if a hose breaks. Third, pull up the ROPS cage. Fourth, use a piece of cardboard to make a template, then cut out a piece of 3/4" plywood for a board which lays across the hydraulics etc that are under the ROPS cage. That way you can lay down and stick your arms back into the area behind the engine. Also, with the lift arms out of the way, you can reach in while standing on either side of the machine and reach the back of the engine. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ---Bobbie G.</p></blockquote><p></p>
