How to Fix Hydraulic Leak on Bobcat e42 Excavator - Swivel Joint (Step by Step DIY)

My 2015 Bobcat e42 mini-excavator was showing some fluid drippage beneath. It ended up being a crown seal on the swivel joint. I decided to fix it myself and after 6 hours and $25 for a new seal, plus another seal replaced for good measure, I fixed the leak. In this video, I show how I drained the hydraulic reservoir, and accessed the swivel joint, removed the hoses and showed the tools needed, disassembled the swivel joint, removed old seals and replaced with new seals, re-assembled and re-installed. Then I filled the hydraulic reservoir back up and purged the air out of the hydraulic system. Here's a link to the silicone plugs and caps I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4O8TR2/...
