D5 hydraulic hose help

30-35 lb ft for 3/8" bolts, tighten them evenly to avoid bending the clamps. The clamps will have a small amount of clearance under them when tightened. That's necessary to keep the hose flange tight to the block.
To bleed the air, fill the reservoir to "Full" and operate the controls several times in both directions to fill the lines and cylinders. Stop and check the oil level immediately if you hear the pump growl, other wise after cycling the controls set every thing on the ground and check the oil level again. Should be good to go after that.

Was their a "right sequence" to install the hoses to get best access to the hardware, or was it simply a case of having the right tools..?

Not sure about the OP, but I have quite a collection of different bent 9/16" wrenches.

I just did them one by one. The newer hoses have more clearance at the ends than the older ones that makes getting a ratchet and socket on them a little easier. My big hands didnt help much! I bought two buckets of hydraulic fluid and it's still not full
