removing air line at diff for air lockers

[matto]

how do you remove the air line at the diff on an air locker without damage

[MrGrim]

explain a bit more the copper line or the plastic line...inside or out ??

[matto]

just the plastic line, the end at the compressor is easy but the end on the diff is different and i dont want to damage any fittings

[MrGrim]

if its the push in type
just push down on the tube
then push the outer ring on the fitting and the tube will then slide out

Usually there will be two types:

FOr both types you will have to remove the "spring thingy" from the nut by levering the bottom of it over the nut and then pulling it up the line, away from the diff fitting.

Then:

"Old type": Just undo the "first" nut (10mm spanner I think), make sure you hold the fitting underneath that (11mm spanner I think) so it doesn't unscrew aswell. Then the line just comes of with the nut still on the line. There is an olive "squashed" onto the line that will stop the nut from falling off. Easy.

"New type": Also undo the nut and hold the one underneath to stop it from undoing. After the nut is undone, slide it up the airline and pull the airline off the barb. Make sure not to bend the barb so pull straight away from the barb and not sideways.

That's pretty much it. Both are pretty easy to remove.

I'm not 100% sure on the nut sizes, someone may correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope this helps!
