3.2 Connection to the Air Locker Bulkhead Fitting
In the case of an IFS axle assembly or in the case that the axle assembly has been
completely removed from the vehicle, the assembly will have to be remounted in order to
position the bulkhead fitting in its correct location for air line access.
Trim the air line to length using a sharp knife.
Insert the support spring over the end of the air line - small end first. (Fig.5.)
Insert the outer compression nut over the air line.
Insert the 5mm [0.197”] ferrule over the end of the air line. Leave approx. 5mm of tubing
between the ferrule and the end of the tube.
Figure 5.
Insert the support tube all the way into the end of the air line.
HINT : If the support tube is too difficult to insert, place the end of the air line into a
cup of boiled water to soften the tubing.
Insert the tube end all the way into the center compression nut of the bulkhead fitting.
Screw on the outer compression nut, while supporting the center compression nut from
turning, and tighten. The ferrule and support tube are now permanently attached.
Assemble the support spring over the outside of the outer compression nut.
Secure any loose sections of tube with a cable tie.
