I wouldnt beat on it with a hammer. I did mine with two micro flat heads and slowly pry from opposite angles and the whole thing will come out in one piece.
Gotta say, this video was a massive help. Fixed a leaky intake port on my 3P yesterday, went smoother than expected. The cartridge came out in 1 piece!?
Thanks! I spent hours looking for a fix & couldn’t find one! Made this video as I figured it would be helpful to others in the same boat. Came out in one piece
Thanks for the video! I only had one leaking so I replaced and reinstalled then all 5 started leaking. Just ordered all new ports, because airlift said maybe doing just one compromised the others somehow. Sound plausible?
I can’t see how it would compromise the others, but honestly it’s worth doing them all. They’re cheap, so may as well. Huge headache saver for down the road as well :) Hope the video helped!
Very helpful, having the same issue. Did you replacing them yourself fix the issue? Also wondering if you can over press these into the unit? Saw another comment ona forum and bro said he pressed them too hard into the manifold and now his still leaks. Lmk if you have any insight. Thanks man.
Glad it helped you out a bit! Replacing them fixed all my issues. I now have no leaks. I know you can press them in as well, but haven’t done so myself. I just did exactly as I did in this video and all worked great for me :)
@@adamanderin Thanks for the reply bro. My PTC is leaking and I have a really slow tank leak cause of it. Your the only video that isn't 5 years old or someone absolutely hammering the shit out of the PTC's to get them out. Really appreciate you making this video, gonna go ahead and give it a shot myself on my one leaky PTC and hope it fixes my overnight tank leak. Glooks!
@@cmrnj love knowing some of our videos are really helping people! Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope it fixes all your leaks pretty easily!
This looks really useful. Is there a size difference in the manifold holes for 1/4 and 3/8? Do you know if I would I be able to upgrade a 1/4 system into a 3/8 system?
Hey man, i replaced one of my cartridges because it was leaking, but also the cartridge was loose, like it would move around i turned it. I replaced it with a new one and still does the same and i believe is why it’s leaking.
Is there any way you might could actually text with my son about his airlift performance system?? The car was bought with the bag system on it and we know nothing about it. It's definitely a nice system and was installed well. As of right now, the remote just quit working for no reason and today is saying a system leak detected. My son knows nothing about the exact unit because we don't have original paperwork or anything. He just needs some help please or at least a suggestion.
I would suggest doing a full recalibration! Sometimes that fixes random bugs that occur. You guys can also message me on Instagram if needed! @sendd.it.wrx
@@adamanderinyou can post a link in the video description. More people would see it as opposed to this comment. I just ordered my replacements from them, super excited to get fixed before it gets too cold! These 40⁰ and cooler nights have my car drooping by the morning.

Good to know!
Thanks for the great video.Replaced all 6 and was easier than I expected, thanks to you. No more issues!
Yay… Glad to hear that!

Sorry , where did you get the cartridges for the manifold? Thanks

Great Video. Where did you get the new couplers? I have 1/4-inch lines.

After a tiny bit of research I see that what I’ve asked cannot be done…
Honestly I’m not 100% about that one. I’d reach out to Bag Riders! That’d be an easy answer for them before you spend any money 😊
@@BJW3Runwhy can it not
The holes in the manifold are different sizes.
Thanks this huge help I’m trying find the leak cause up grade my air line to 3/8 when leak I find it what cause losing the air
Life Saver Thanks For The Video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad it helped!!
super helpful

Hmm so most likely a manifold issue. Is it still under warranty?
@ not sure, probably not. I bought it used off of another person.
@@user-ic2zq9hn2xsame issue, bought same way. I’m going to use some high pressure adhesive (super glue) and see what’s up.
Did you put a plastic sleeve on or just the fitting?
The replacement fitting comes with the inner plastic sleeve. Just order and install as is :)
Make sure you like this video!
Please do ;)
I got them all out but when trying to get the new ones In they still had a gap and then I broke the plastic on 2 of them idk what to fo
Hmm…may need to re-order a few extra and try again. Be super gentle when putting the new ones in
Lube the o-rings before installing, should help with seating.
