I have a 6 point auto level system and need to remove a jack for service. If I disconnect hydraulic lines with just the front holding trailer up am I going to have problems with fluid rushing out of lines upon removal? The jack that needs removal is in front of axles mid-point.

You will lose some fluid at the jack. DO NOT operate any hydraulics until you have installed the new/repaired jack.

I’d retract rear and mid leveling legs just enough to clear the ground. The side you are removing is in tandem with rear hyd leg on that side only.

There is close to 3000 psi of fluid pressure on the lines so crack the jack line you are gonna remove slowly and have rags and small drip pan. Once pressure is gone press on with removal.

Front LG is completely separate from mid and rear leveling legs with its own selector valve.
