I understood your question quite well Lawrence , I don't know having never worked on it yet .
There is a pressure valve in the back , if the car doesn't squat overnight you're prolly only going o loose a small amount of hydraulic fluid , it's still a wise idea to jack and safely block up the rear end in any case .
Remember : the fluid is special so don't go replenishing it willy nilly with ATF as you might screw the pooch by doing so .
If the fluid smells burned , it needs repeated flushing until it no longer does .
There's supposed to be a ring shaped filter in the top of the fluid tank , change it unless you've done so in the last 12 months .

I guess what I am asking is there a normal hydraulic fitting that screws into the factory hose? If so is it a 10 mm, 12, or other metric size? Do they tend to seize? How to safely remove it? Or should I just use brute force? Also are there check valves that will keep the fluid from squirting out under the release of pressure? Should I jack up the back end or not....Inquiring minds want to know. Lawrence Rhodes.....
