Reason I put the link to manual was basically so he could identify the airdryer he had being he didn't know which one it was. Sorry for the confusion. Ad2, Ad4 or Ad9

The way he is talking it sounds like he has a brake hose leaking with the nuts and farrows.all he has do it pull on hard with the nuts loose and it should come off the adapter fitting

Or he could try and see if full air pressure will disconnect it with nut completely backed off. Yeah, my dd3's had those hoses before I replaced them. The inside of hose can stick on the 1 1/4 long brass tube as part of fitting which provides support to inside of hose when nut tightens down on  compression ferrule.

try some soap and water in a spray bottle to lube up the fittings and it will help to seal when you put it back together

It does make it go on easier and seal them alright but when the soap"dries" it makes it darn near impossible to remove that air line from the fitting (same problem he has now). Similar to putting handle bar grips on, it is the same thing.

Jim Eh why would you want to put handlebar grips on your brake lines? :o ::)

I think someone needs to get a grip...

When assembling anything on the coach... remember who has to take it apart next time...

FWIW, I used a lick of anti-seize on the mating surfaces of all the brake hose connections, both the faces, and perhaps more importantly, up underneath, between the fitting and it's own hose. The ones I removed had to be cut out, they were fused with rust, both the mating surface, and to itself. Wouldn't turn at all.

Don't be sloppy, it would be bad form to send globs of anti-seize down the air hoses.

Happy coaching!

So you can "ride on air" silly.
