Hello. A month ago I took the loader off my L4630 so i could do the install of a Boss HTX-V 7'6" plow. i finished the plow install this week and today I want to put the loader back on. Out of the 4 loader hydraulic connectors I need to mate with the tractor, two would not "click in" or seat. The two are on the outside away from the tractor hood. One has a deep yellow cover/protector plug and the other has a tan colored cover/protector plug. I tried rotating the joystick to relieve any pressure that might be keeping them from seating. I tried multiple times pushing in but that hasn't worked either. Am I doing something wrong? I checked out youtube and the videos I found seemed to go back together without this kind of issue. Thank you for any help you might be able to give.

Bill

Break the hope open at the coupling and relieve the pressure in the hoses. Works every time.
