PSA: That 'simple' hydraulic line flush on the crane barge took us 8 hours
Everyone said it was a two hour job, but a tiny piece of O-ring lodged in a check valve had us pulling the whole manifold. We finally got it with a fiber optic borescope and a homemade hook. Anyone have a better trick for finding debris in a closed hydraulic loop?

Tell you what, that's how everything breaks down. My phone gets a single grain of sand in the charging port and it's useless until I dig it out with a toothpick. Or a pebble gets stuck in the tread of your boot and throws off your whole walk. It's never the big, obvious parts that fail, it's always that one tiny, cheap piece you didn't even think about. Makes you wonder what little thing in the world's systems is gummed up right now.
