OK, I'm annoyed with MB for the 124 changes...
why did they get rid of the rebuildable hydraulic hose ends?

the 123 SLS and PS hoses are elegant simple to rebuild.
unscrew the fittings, cut hose to ends, and screw ends on new hose...

124 hoses are CRIMPED ON!!!!

man this sucks.
my PS hose spit a load and I gotta rebuild it. I pulled a spare off of my D, but I gotta get new ones in there...

I think I'm going to grind off the crimp and cut new hose to fit.
anybody done this?
I'll take pics if it's wanted...
