Clean all dirt and grease from the fitting. Spread the two clip legs about
18 inch (3mm) each to disengage from the fitting and pull the
clip outward from the fitting. Use finger pressure only; do not use any tools.
Grasp the fitting and hose assembly and pull away from the steel line. Twist
the fitting and hose assembly slightly while pulling, if the assembly sticks.
Inspect the hairpin clip for damage, replacing the clip if necessary. Reinstall
the clip in position on the fitting. Inspect the fitting and inside of the
connector to ensure freedom from dirt or obstruction. Install the fitting into
the connector and push together. A click will be heard when the hairpin snaps
into the proper connection. Pull on the line to insure full engagement.
