Suspension pipe

I have a classic compressor prob, so bought a new one,. that was the easy part removing the pump has been a real pain.
Where i am now is the pump is in bits but i still can not remove the bottom air its seized solid, tried WD40 patience to no avail.
Am i right iwill have to order a new pipe as cutting it wont remove it from the housing
if i cut it where do you get joiners from
Thanks for any suggestions Big Cry

Is it the bottom rear pipe?

I had problems getting mine out the first time.

If you keep going it will come out. Like you I flushed it out with WD40 a few times, which removed loads of crud and dust, and very gently twisted the Brass collet with a pair of pliers.

Eventually enough muck was flushed out and dislodged to make room for the collet to be pushed in and release the pipe.

Obviously the Front connectors with the plastic covers on the collets are not as tough if you need to twist them.

Common problem, I ended up cutting the pipe, and joining it with another piece of pipe, and an inline connector Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread
