Has anyone come up with a high pressure solution for making hydraulic oil changes less messy?
The allen key bolt for draining hydraulic oil is on hydraulic motor...it is flush with motor. Once I take out bolt, oil gets friggin everywhere...
Now, the engine oil change is an absolute pleasure because a nice hose is sitting there for one to stick into a bucket. I probably change the engine oil too often because it is so easy.
However, the hydraulic oil change is a nightmare. Has anyone bought a tap or fashioned a high pressure hose to the hydraulic motor to facilitate easier hydraulic oil changes? Please show me what you did!
I go through a roll of paper towel mopping up the mess...
