I am trying to test the pressure on the hydraulics of my B7100. My copy of the repair manual has a very poor picture that shows where the measure the pressure and I cannot tell where to install the gauge.

The picture shows a bold/plug (spring holder??) directly below the 3-point control lever. Is this the correct location to install a pressure gauge to check the pressure relief valve? Or, do I have to tie in at the banjo fitting?

I purchased a hydro quick disconnect set and mounted them to the gauge. Then simply disconnect a loader hose and mount the gauge inline to the loader. Max out the loader cylinder and you will see your relief pressure.

Unfortunately, I do not have a loader. Any other ideas???
