Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my locker air line snapped clean the other day and i dont know how to get it out
its a blue plastic hose not a brass line and it snapped right at the end of the fitting on the diff so half the line is in the diff and the other hangin free
anyone know how to get it out
i was gunna undo the fitting on the outside but i dont know if that will cause sumin to drop inside the diff
anyone know how the fitting works
is it just tapped into the side of the housing or is there a nut on the inside and if i undo the nut on the outside the inside nut will drop into the gearset???
any help please

just undo the fitting on the outside and it will come off and you can get the hose off, you might need to goto arb and get a new olive for mounting the hose , then trim the hose with put the new olive on and do the nut back up leave out the little metal tube that runs up the inside of hose, as i was told by the guys arb that it what causes the hose to break most of the time

u sure nuttin will drop down iside the diff if i undo the fitting
wtf is a olive?

nothing will drop inside when you undo the hose from the outside, you will see the olive on the bit of hose when you undo the nut

so does the diff just fill up with air
theres no specvial fitting inside the hose runs to?????????

No it's a compression fitting that seals the airline to a bulkhead fitting which the copper tube is connected to inside the pumpkin, this runs to the locker itself. It is all totally sealed from the diff itself. The only way air can get into the diff is if the rubber O ring in the locker itself leaks or the copper tube splits.
We found a fitting that adapts the compression style fitting to a BSP thread and use a Festo airline connector with three/sixteenth airline instead of the stupid 5mm made specially for ARB.

you can also get the heavy duty airline kit from ARB
it has a different fitting that screws onto the bulkhead fitting, then a flare connection on a rubber hose which leads to another fitting that is fixed to the chassis which the blue plastic line then connects to.
i think they are around 60 bucks or so but dont quote me on that.

Sounds expensive.

Bring it around to my place, I will clean swap it for an open centre in perfect condition and I will dispose of your airlocker free of charge

Ruff runs the heavy duty airline kit, that cost him around $40, but he probably gave favours to get it that cheap.
