    That's a brass fitting, just take a needle nose pliers and pull the brass quick connect off.

    Inside you will find a o-ring, take a small L shaped metal pick and take it out.

    Go to your local auto, hardware or hydraulic parts supply store to match the original o-ring.

    Install the new o-ring by inserting it carefully back in until it is seated at the bottom of the fitting.

    Re-install the quick connect back in and you'll be good to go.

    Is there a specific material Oring I need? Saw a multikit at a local shop with various sizes a few weeks ago. They were green.


    Don't know if the color means anything.

    The different colors of o-rings designate what materials they're made of and for what applications they are best suited for, but in your case the fitting is for just for an air line, so any color will suffice.

    Air line o-rings are usually black or blue colored, but you should be fine using green.

    Replaced the ring. All is well. 7 bucks for a little kit with various sizes. Vs 20 for a new fitting
