| Spring Lock Coupling Disconnect Tool (5/8-Inch) | T83P-19623-C |
The spring lock coupling tool will not always fit over the shielded tube. To accommodate the shielding, the hole in the tubing end of the tool must be enlarged. To do this, clamp the tool closed and drill out the existing hole with 5/8-inch bit. Be careful to drill only the tubing hole and not the working end of the hole.
Removal
CAUTION: Discharge fuel system before disconnecting coupling.
NOTE: Metal safety clips are used on metal tubes with metal spring lock connectors. Both types are illustrated.
NOTE: Before disconnecting, locate white indicator ring which may have slipped down length of fuel tube.

Push the tool into the cage opening to release the female fitting from the garter spring.
Pull the coupling male and female fittings apart.
Remove the tool from the disconnected spring lock coupling.
