I was sent a PM and couldn't answer, can anyone help me out here?
I boxed up all the IPs I could find to test them on a motor that is an hour away!

Here is the question:
"I am changing fuel lines on a Deuce to push lock. The 45 deg fitting on the back side of the hydraulic head , can that unscrew without lifting the hydraulic head ?
It looks like it will hit the pump case and I don't wanna disturb it if that is the case. If it can't come out, I'll just put synflex back but I would rather change that fitting to an Ip x SAE."

If anyone could help us out I'd really appreciate it, thanx Gimp!

Yes you can replace that 45 degree fitting without removing the Hydraulic Head. Or at least mine came out OK. I don't know if the "Push Locks" will fit there though. They are usually taller then standard DOT fittings.

Or maybe run a standard 45-degree fitting and then a straight Push-Lok fitting to clear the block?
