    Does anyone know what the trick is in removing the airlines off the back of the dash air valve? They look like they slide on, but can't get the lines loose to replace valve. At the moment looks like the only choice is to cut the lines. Just hate to, because there isn't a lot of slack now and if I cut the lines then there be less.

    There is a plastic retainer next to the fitting. Push in on the plastic and pull the air line out of the fitting.

    Where the hose goes in to the gauge, there is a plastic or metal ring you can push in, push that ring in and pull on your hose, sometimes the ring is hard to push in, just make sure you push the ring straight in then your line will come out, but if you have a long enough of hose then you can cut it.

    Thanks everyone. I ended up cutting it close to the brass farrell, but after putting the dash valve in I discovered that the old one has 5 air lines and the new one has 6. Have to call volvo to see if they make a something to blank that off or they sold me the wrong valve. Hope they have a blank off, dread trying to get the hoses off the new valve.

    Follow the lines for a ways one could be an exhaust.

    They're quick fittings. All you had to do was pump the air out with the pedal, push the little retainer in and out they come. They make them airlines in the dash short enough, good luck.

    They are quick connects. Take a open end wrench of appropiate size that fits around hose and push down on quick connect while pulling out on hose. Easy sneazy. The valve should have had a couple of block off tabs in the box. If not any truck place should have them.
