I purchased the ATF a few nights ago.

Wife informed me we are babysitting Grandkids tonight.

Saturday morning is mine.

Congrats! I had to tighten the shrader valve insert as it was leaking for the 50# preload. Plus I already had a gallon of 32 hyd fluid so used that.

It is assembled, bled and works perfectly without any leaks. Took about 1 1/2 hours and was a matter of putting the connectors on the hoses and adding the ATF.
