    Not to be a party pooper,but you know eventually that air fitting will leak.

    Small rubber o-ring will dry out.

    Oh ok, yeah, what would be the alternative- a compression fitting?

    If you have plenty of room to work with it bolted up, then you can switch it out later. If not I’d put a compression on now with a foot or so of line,then use a union to connect to the line you have now.

    Yessir. Got it all back together. Thanks to you all as always, safe trails (and profitable ones!)

    put a new solenoid, idler pulley and belt on for good measure. Did the test run (idling) and the fan clutch engages and disengages. Got a cool new creeper too from harbor freight for $39 . When I turn the key to the on position, it’s supposed to send air to the hub right?
