Hose Replacement At Bobtach Solenoid Valve

[bucky4444]

I have a blown Bobtach hose back near where it attaches to the solenoid valve. It's not easily accessible and that's my problem. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to come up with plan on tackling this hose replacement, but I'm at loss. The web hasn't been much help and I don't want to just start ripping things apart. Is there anyone out there that has some thoughts on how to get to these fittings disturbing the least amount of surrounding hoses and other parts? Thanks.

What model machine?
Some of them are horrible to access, so bad that you essentially need to remove every line to get to it. Some times it can be easier to cut a hole in the frame near the control block and cover it with a bolt on plate when done.
Newer machines have holes like this to make replacing hoses easier.

It's a newer machine - 2017 S595 - but it doesn't have access plates on the side.

Being a newer mahine, i'd have thought access would have been fairly good.
Try talking to your local dealer and askf or the service department, they are generally quite friendly and tell you what needs to be done.
