New problem with air brake pedal leak
#15

Hello,
talking with Ron S, via phone and he cant not beilve thsi nut ( brass fitting is so hard to turn )

yes, I am fallowing intructions ( I used easy outs before with triangle shape ) thsi one is more like dive bit type ) you turn cunterclockwise and bites in to the hole and you should be able to get it loose.

I did move the gas pedal out of the way , use good size vise grip, since i tried sockets and six side wont foit on sqare type tip of teh easy out tool!
there is sealer paste ( sand color ) on the treads and looks like hard stuff, I hope is only air type sealer not lactie type.

I purchased good quality easy out set ( made out of Cr-moly steel ) so it should not break, every time I try it wont slip but starts to twist bit !

I am using 1/4" size since I can get about 3/4" tapping it in the hole, hole is about 1,5" before you hit solid side.

The fitting brass nut just snapped off when I wanted to get it loose! I noticed there is 4 diferent style hose fitting there ! looks like someone replaced some before! Problem was, it was leaking air right at the end of it and I was thinking you just loosen it and replace entire unit as someone sugested.
I hope I can get this work, we are here only 8 more days and need to hit the road!

Ron asked me to look at teh dash and see what the air suplay is reading and its 45 psi and the break gauge is reading red needle at 0 psi and white at 60psi, he thinks that one of the air lines supplying front or rear brakes lines are out of air.
