driver's vent air cylinder

[Curt Sprenger]

Bruce,

Call Clippard and ask them.about hole and leaking. I believe you will
need a new cylinder. You can order one while you are on the phone.

Try this to remove the air hose. Push in on the piece that the hose goes
into and remove the hose.

Good luck.
