Hi all,
So on of the hoses on my LA211 FEL decided it was dead. I have ordered a replacement and it looks like I should be able to unthread the old hose and thread the new one on.
I inspected the rest of the hoses and they look okay, but I may replace then as preventative maintenance. Last thing I want to have happen is for a hose to blow out in the middle of a project.
Is there anything I should look out for? Should I use any kind of thread sealant, or are they made to seal without it? If I should use sealant what kind is recommended?
It is one of the bottom hoses on the pic (I am gonna replace both). For some reason they are pressed up against the small vertical bar and that is where they finally wore through. Makes me wonder if they were replaced previously and the person didn't take the time to route them without contact.
Thanks
