Expert Reply:

You can use the Replacement Air Line Kit for Air Lift AirLift 1000 - Rear # AL22007 you asked from or # F2012 to get a new Schrader valve, but it sounds like you just need the valve. I recommend using the Firestone Inflation Valve for 1/4" Tubing # F3032-1 instead to just give you the valve you need. You can simply removed the tube, make a clean cut and then apply the new valve which the line will press onto or into depending on the style chosen above. They are a tight fit so you simply press on until the tube bottoms out in the valve and then pull slightly to ensure a tight fit. Check for leaks using soapy water checking for air bubbles.

If you have trouble making a clean cut, you may want to consider the Air Lift Air Hose Cutter # AL10530
