How to Remove Elbow Air Fitting AL21848
Updated 04/13/2026 | Published 06/01/2021
Question:
is there a specialty tool/socket to remove the 90 degree/elbow air fitting on an installed Load lifter 5000 air bag system or do I have to take the bags/plates apart to install the new fitting? Its an 11 mm wrench but I cannot get the wrench to completely turn in order to remove the fitting. The brackets impede the wrench.

Expert Reply:
There isn't a special tool for removing the # AL21848 from the air bags. You'd need to use a wrench. If you can't make a complete revolution you'd need to take smaller turns based on the limited access.
You may need to remove the entire air bag from the brackets.
