Question for all you smart people.
We need to rebuild or reseal the rear SCV connectors, they have a small leak and need new seals. It's not the valve itself leaking as whatever is hooked up isn't creeping or loosing pressure, so as I've said, it's most likely a seal between the female cartridge and the housing.
Here is my question. These quick connectors don't have a lever on them to lock the male connect in. They are the push/pull connecting kind, you push the male part hard into the connector and it will lock in, to disconnect you pull hard on the hydraulic line/connector.
I haven't taken one of these apart before, assume there is a snap ring in front of the female cartridge which has to come out. With a lever kind SCV you would move the lever and that cartridge would be released in the housing and it would pull out in the front.
Since there is no lever to disengage the cartridge in the housing.......... how does it come out? Do I have to take the whole backside of the SCV housing off?
Tried to find something on youtube or google, but the ones shown are all the lever kind, which doesn't help me.
