I've been dealing with this leak for the past 2 years, every few months I pop off the connector and have a go at it but can never get the old o-rings out. I've got 4 boxes of assorted o-rings and plenty of free time. It's time to fix this thing for good. I wasnt able to get a clear picture of the inside of the quick connect, but when I look into the connector, i can see a yellow seal, and 2 orange o-rings. I've tried every way I could think of the grab these things, bent paper clips, tweezers, needle nose pliers, but no matter what I can never get them to come out. Am I going after the wrong thing here or are these o-rings somehow melted into place? Any have suggestions on how to get these damn things out? I'm tired of smelling gas

 

I've never changed those o-rings myself (and heard they can be a pain). I've read claims of using the end of a nylon zip tie to get them out....

 

I don't believe in buying parts that aren't casted or machined. I appreciate the link though, I may end up buying it but not until I'm 100% certain I cant get this things fixed on my own lol

 

The fix is........you have to buy the new one!

I had that same problem around 8 yrs ago....

 

I didnt know there were any o-rings in that connection i have everything in my engine taken apart right if you didnt know, but yea i could probably take a look tomorrow and maybe think of something that'll help you out
all i can think of now is to try an exacto blade and cut the o-ring out?

 

Like I said, I've heard they are a pain to fish out, but some have done it successfully. Supposedly you can use the end of a nylon zip tie like a pic to slide in, under and pop the little buggers out.

I have never changed them NOR seen them changed.

Maybe hit YouTube, see if anyone posted some ideas....

 

Did it! Wasn't really too difficult once I got the paper clip bent just right, slipped right under it, once i got it out it fell into 4 or 5 pieces. Put in a new slightly bigger one, was a little hard to get the connector on but its working flawlessly now.

 

Glad you got it fixed!

 

I was going to suggest an o-ring pick, but glad to hear a paper clip did the trick. I assume the o-rings you used are impervious to fuel so they don't deteriorate and you end up with a leak (again)?

 

I hope so, I just found an assortment of o-rings in my tool box, green, think they were left over from when I had to replace my friends ac condenser. If they end up failing I atleast know the correct angle of attack to put better ones in lol.
