What happens here
Locate the second hydraulic filter, which may be in a more difficult-to-reach position. Initially, attempt to loosen it by hand. If it's too tight, as in this case, use a suitable filter wrench from the Vevor filter wrench set. With the Vactrac still engaged, carefully unscrew this filter. Observe the fluid draining, which indicates that the vacuum is effectively preventing a larger spill and only emptying the filter canister itself. Once the old filter is removed, lubricate the gasket of the new filter with hydraulic fluid and screw it onto the tractor, hand-tightening it first, then using the wrench to snug it down.
Goal: Replace the secondary hydraulic filter with controlled fluid drainage.
