Re: 1957 Johnson Fuel connector - install "O" rings
Hi GE,<br /> I the round brass faces that the o-rings reside behind are pressed into the aluminum fitting housing. As such, you can press the brass parts out using a drill bit (blunt side into the fuel nipples). This will give you access to the spring, o-ring, etc. inside the connector. It's a very simple system and comes apart pretty easily. Work slowly and carefully, as it's not hard to torque something and crack the housing. I usually set the fitting up in a vice with a spacer to allow the brass retainer room to exit. Use the vice again to press the faces back into place when you're done. Take note of order of assembly. Takes me about 5 minutes to rebuild on of those fittings...<br />- Scott
