Yep just unscrews but let the pressure off the suspension first by pulling on the spring rods both sides from underneath but mind you don’t trap your arms.wants a jcb seal kit really I have found .you might manage to find the right o ring though if your luckier than me !

Have you got a part number for the valve ? can't find it on jcb parts :scratchhead:

It might be the valve block is corroded giving a poor seal , it's ally I think

The picture above isn't it. They are a bad to get to seal don't over tighten they aren't much more than hand tight
I have resealed a two but had to put new on in the end

Yes , you're right it isn't that one , I'm thinking it's just the o ring that needs changing

Right , so just needed a new o ring and leak cured , problem now is one side lift higher than the other :scratchhead:
Need to equalise the pressure somehow , any suggestions . (y)

@s~~t shoveller

Just go underneath the machine and pull on the linkage for the suspension do both at the same time until it hits the bump stops then release and it should level itself
