Flat face coupler won't connect.

Well I kept quiet and wish I won't have.



I wanted to suggest you just bend the line so that the Quick connect fitting plane would clear the back of the cab.

In other words bend the line so that the fitting pointed towards the rear a little.



You should have no issue with bending the line back and then a little farther so it will clear the cab, the lines are made from soft steel giving them the ability to not just crack from sudden changes in hydraulic pressure.

Gee wiz Wolfman! Thanks a lot! [emoji23] Just kidding.

Seriously though, thanks for confirming that I can just bend the line back to where it needs to be and go back to the straight in connection. Appreciate it. [emoji106]

I was able to bend the coupler out. I am now able to easily make the connection. I thought I was good to go. Unfortunately, I broke the tab holds the hydraulic line in place. [emoji21] I'm assuming this happened when I had the 90 on and raised the 3ph.

My questions now are:
Should I try fixing it with JB Weld or something like it or do I just buy a new one and get it replaced?
Would this be a difficult task?
Should I have the dealership address it?
