Step 7

Here is teh repalcment manifold. This was the only one that was readily available for this compressor. The only difference between the old one and the replacement is that here is only room for one (1) Quick connect
Purchased the proper clamp for this repair because they were available. The old clamp can definitely not being reused. It should also be possible to use a normal worm drive hose clamp which are widely available
I used a pair of End cutting pliers to compress the end of the clamp. A pair of Combination pliers etc. should accomplish this as well.
