    Just let down the loader first and turn off the tractor. Put on safety glasses and throw a rag over the connection as you open it slowly. If you expect the worst with trapped pressure, then you'll be prepared for it.
    Releasing high pressure hydraulic pressure can be very dangerous.

    Yes, everything Patsy said. Turn off tractor and work spools or joystick in every direction (with engine off and ignition on for electric power if electronic controls).

    Also clean around the area and don't let dirt in to open pipes.
