Hi buswarrior, all the air valves are out of the bus now, I'm sure I don't need the quick release valves for the doors but not sure on other valves, I need to get more info(list of valves) on what I'm working with, Thankyou for the help Richard

Mainly the parking brake and valves for air operated windshield wipers (if so equipped).  Good Luck, TomC

Make sure that ALL of those airlines are terminated properly.

Sealed, plugged, removed.

Or the coach is stuck where it is, it won't air up to release the parking brakes.

happy coaching!

Hi Richard, I just did this the other week, I have some photo's but they are out of focus. All the lines you will need to disconnect come from the Auxiliary tank.   I started by properly (as BW said) capping off the supply lines from the Aux tank up front one line ( line 51 from aux tank) does the loop through the door system, line 51 feeds the wipers, the other ( line 90 from aux tank)goes to the air filter ( bottom of front elec panel) then to the Gradustat and on to the AC Modulation valve both in the rear luggage bay, that is pretty much it. Make sure that you double check the routing of these lines to be sure they are the correct ones before disconnecting. I hope this helps, will try and get over to take some descent photos of my panel today.

Thankyou Van, for the great help, one question can I remove the quick release valves to the door,(which is no more) under the front electrical panel?  I will double check the lines and remove them, thankyou again, Richard

If there are no lines connected to the valve...sure take it out, but be certain that all the supply lines for your accy's  have been properly capped. Here's the schematic I posted over on the E.I board.
