    IMG_1938.jpeg IMG_1939.jpeg Air is leaking(when I press in yellow brake button). I removed the line and made sure the line wasn’t cut or anything however, in the 2nd picture it’s leaking from that yellow fitting. Does that whole assemble need replacing or is it possible to just replace that one?

    on a w900 glider….

    I’ve had little leaks thru out that board. Been told it has to be replaced. I told them, “I’m good for now”…….

    Yeah, it doesnt cause any real air loss as long as the truck is running/going down the road. Its just annoying to hear while driving. I really hope thats not the case. Seems pretty tedious to do.

    Have you tried an extension? The line is probably just worn at the end. Cut a new piece of hose. Make sure all the ends are square.

    The pass thru air manifold is sourced and serviced as one piece assembly.

    I had that manifold replaced on a 389 and it wasn't very expensive or time consuming.
