If I were to do the repair myself, I would probably just replace the lines if it's not any harder than bronzing them, since the parts themselves are less than $100, and I would be sure they'd last.  But, I am pretty nervous to take on the removal of my engine, since I have never done anything like that, on a car or a skidsteer.  If I bought the service manual, would it give instructions on how to do so?</blockquote>
