removing bennett tabs should i cut line?

[caldog101]

I need to do some work on my transom,So i want to remove my bennett trim tabs .Problem is previous owner drilled small holes about 1/4 inch just enough to slip the black hose through,The head of the coupling at the end of the hose is a lot bigger and it won't come out should i cut the black hydraulic hose behind the coupling ? and try to get new ends ,or can someone tell me how the ends come off .Thanks

That's a Very Low Pressure Hyd. line,.....<br /><br />Cut it as Close as possible to the Nut,......<br /><br />Replacement Sleeves,+ Liners are available at Most better Hardware Stores......The Nut is Reusable....<br /><br />It's known as a "Compression Fitting".....

thanks Bondo<br /> I have used these before,it's just that this one looked like it has a flange on the back side and i could not pull it off,and seeing that i have never worked on the trim tabs it was safer to ask my ? i will do as you say and cut it off, also i lost some fluid ,what type of fluid do i use and do i have to bleed it ? thanks again

I use ATF.........And,.. I Believe the Bennets are pretty much Self Purging.......
