    Had anybody replaced it? How difficult was it? I had one leak repaired (for $100), and now another leak. I got those rubber seals hoping to fix it myself, but I have no idea how to do it.

    Are you talking about those bulkhead fittings in the firewall? If so, they are not bad to change at all. If it is leaking outside in the engine compartment, just unscrew the old half of the fitting and screw the new piece on that and you should be good. If it's leaking inside the cab, you have to take the plastic piece out closest to the door. It is easier to take the bottom bolt out of the grab handle and push the the tilt wheel down when you're ready for it to come out. Hope this helps.

    We have changed a few of them. You will need some skills, and you need to write down where things are because some of the lines go in a different location. Don't try to go on memory. It helps to have two people too.
