Hello,
I just got a 23s and wile digging up small stumps w/ the hoe, I see hydro fluid dripping on the right rear tire. In that fender well there is a "manifold"? with several lines connected that I belive to be the Front Control Valve Kit. I plan to start with checking the vent and putting a wrench on the connections. How big of a pain is this to access? Is this a known issue? Thanks

Let us say that it is THIS connection that is leaking a bit.

GET TWO exact fit wrenches - HOLD the one on the right still and gently turn the one on the left - just a wee little bit, I mean a wee bit - a couple of degrees - NO MORE.

That's what I was thinking. I'll post the fix. Thanks!
