Just venting guys. Changed my Hydro filters for the first time yesterday at 90 hours and had to bypass them to bleed air out, which was quite an ordeal. Only way to turn the valve was from to opposite side with a long screwdriver. Had nothing long enough to reach them and had to weld some round stock onto it to reach it. Thought about taking the wheels off and try it that way but man.....having to do that is a bit excessive. I now have a long screwdriver to reach for next time. If you want to do that out in the field, you're shit out of luck. How do you guys do it?

Thanks. He's turning them from the opposite side too....although he dont seem to have a very long screwdriver, but may have longer arms. Thought the 3200 was same physical size as the 3300.
Anyway, it's a crappy way of having to work the bypass valve.
