How do you remove pushloc fittings?

I got my suspension stuff in, and was messing around with the pushloc fittings.. I didnt see how they worked, so i pushed my airline in, and now i see how they work. ahaha. Anyway i can get that airline out of the fitting so i can install it the right way???

I didnt trim the line at the end so it was a nice 90 degree on it. Let me know.

Re: How do you remove pushloc fittings?

There will be a "collar" on the fitting where the line fits in. Push the collar in and pull the line out... Should be pretty simple.

Re: How do you remove pushloc fittings?

take an open end wrench the size of the tubing (1/4" - 3/8" - 1/2"-whatever) then use the open-end to "straddle" the tubing and push down on the collar while pulling the opposite direction with the tubing ... it should pop right out

That's a good tip Shane... I never had problems removing them with just my fingers but if you had a stubborn connection, your method would work great.
