Lockers - How to get the lines out??

Hey guys,

I am going to replace the air lines on my ARB air-lockers,
I tried to pull them out of the compressor setup, but they wont
budge!!

If I remember correctly, you pull out the orange collar, then while
holding this out, pull on the hose? Or is this all wrong?
(might explain why it won't come off! :lol: )

Someone on here must have had experiences similar with their lockers?

Cheers,
Bart

If they are the push in fittings,

Find a spanner that just fits over the hose, push the collar into the fitting and then pull back on the hose, it should come out easy!

:D

OH :oops: :lol:

So I push IN on the orange collar,
and then pull OUT the hose?

Sweeet...this may work a little better

Will try this tonight when I get home.

Cheers Gribs,

Bart

yes push IN the collar while pulling the hose OUT. can be done one handed, hose between thumb and forefinger, with fingers against the orange collar, hold the hose tight and rock your fingers so they push against the orange collar while at the same time they pull out the hose. hard to explain but easy to demonstrate - with a little practice you can make it look like you are just pulling the hose out, then push it back in, repeat a few times, then ask your victim to try and pull the hose out :D
