Good morning. Isolated the small drip to one of the four equal length external braided lines and purchased a factory replacement and a 3/8 hex line wrench. The drive is in the full down position. Is this under pressure when down or can I just put a bucket underneath to catch any drips while i quickly remove and replace? I figured to put some Kroil on the two line nuts first to let them loosen up first. I'd appreciate your advice and suggestions.
