Can these hoses be replaced without dropping the plate?
If the plate has to be dropped, can it be unbolted at the front, but left dangling (sitting on a jack) at the front and loosened at the rear? I ask because I am a one man show and will not have access to assistance.

You can remove the entire plate on your own - it's tricky holding the nuts on the top of the plate while you loosen/tighten the bolt from underneath but it can be done.
Getting someone to hold the ring spanner on the top-side nuts makes a great difference though and they won't even get dirty hands. A wife/gf/partner/child can do it - dogs not so much.
