Hello Rod,

I assume you mean the rubber hydraulic hoses, correct? If so then you will need a line wrench, 10mm I believe, and a wrench to back it up, also you will need to bleed the system once completed are two videos to help you, the first one is the job being done on a similar vehicle, but the procedure is the same.
