Thanks very much Art, very informative. And thanks to 'X5 in AK' for the original post that explains the hose replacement procedure.

Thank you both, I can now get it done!

Just a quick question..... I have completely removed (minus the bit under the bulkhead) the gooey leftovers of what used to be the hoses, but there seems to be no oil leakage from the separator-is this normal, or is the separator blocked/busted?
