Connection to the 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.17.)
Insert the outer compression nut over the air line.
Push the airline onto the barb on the center compression nut,
ensuring that it is pushed all the way to the end.

HINT : If the tube is too difficult to push on, place the end of
the air line into a cup of boiled water to soften the
tubing.
