I think you should pick up some of this and call it a day. The only Irish Whiskey I like.

It’s a bit early in the day to get involved with Irish Whiskey, but I will consider it it the fittings get unscrewed. I’m a Tullamore Dew fan.
The penetrating oil I used is WD 40’s super penetrant. All I had, and it’s worked well in the past.
Sooner or later I’m gonna have to get those hoses off, or take the thing to someone who can.

I got it done, finally. Got hyd fluid all over me when taking the old hoses off. Messy danged job. I finally had to put the big pipe wrench with a cheater bar on the fittings and do some serious grunting and straining. I filled the new hoses before attaching them, so there shouldn’t be much air in the system. And then I split some wood. It works fine.
Two new hoses cost me $144. Gee whiz...
Man, I’m glad that’s done.

Had to put all new hoses on our little dozer a few years ago, think it was $580 or so, but that was a bunch of lines.

Man, I’m glad that’s done. Good job. Nothing like the nice feeling of being covered in hydraulic oil. On the bright side, at least it wasn't gear oil.

I had this same issue very recently on a hydraulic cylinder. I worked on it so hard I eventually rounded the corners on the fitting. No problem, I put a pipe wrench on it with a cheater bar. This did not end well. I twisted the fitting off flush with the cylinder housing. I had take the cylinder off the implement, purchase a Pipe Screw Extractor Set from amazon, watch several YouTube videos, said several prayers, clamped it in a vice and with the assistance of a blow torch I finally got it out. You have to be careful with the torch, if you overheat the cylinder you can damage the seals. Also forget to mention I broke my vice doing this, a vice I have had for 20 years.
So good luck.

I guess I should be happy that my problem wasn’t as bad as yours. For the record, the fittings I was dealing with weren’t corroded at all. Whoever screwed those fittings in must have been as strong as Godzilla. If I had twisted off the fitting, in the mood I was in, you’d have heard me cussing for a mile or more.
I’m just glad it’s over...

I come and go on the forum, read a lot, post every now and then.....but I know what you miss. I’ve thought about changing my sig but then no one would recognize or remember me.
