To remove the air line you will need to push in on the air fitting ring and then pulling out the air line. The air fitting acts similar to a Chinese finger trap. It will clamp on the air line when attempting to pull from the fitting if you do not hold the fitting in on itself.

If the line is damaged you can replace it with the Air Lift 1/4" Synflex Air Line Tubing # AL73RV.
