georgeandlouise1 Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 We have a 2007 Monaco Dynasty Countess 3 and want to change the rear air bags. We have Contitech 9 9 -12 and have ordered the replacements. We need the 3/4 to 1/4 push on air fitting reducer bushing. We have tried Napa but they don’t stock any and said they can’t order it. The picture shows my existing bushing that I will need to replace. Does anyone know where I can order replacements? I will appreciate help! George
Rikadoo Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Here in Northern California I use fleet pride truck parts they usually carry a lot of stuff like that.
Hypoxia Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 You will probably just re-use the bushing since they require a 1 1/4" hole and Monaco supplied a 1 1/8" hole so you have to remove the bushing (1 1/8" Socket) to get the air spring out. All you need to buy are the 1/4" elbows since the easiest way to remove them is by snapping them off on some locations ( thank you HockeyDiesel) or just removing them on accessible locations. I used a 1 1/4" wrench and a crescent to remove the air line nut and 3/4" socket to remove the air spring nuts.
georgeandlouise1 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Posted October 2, 2021 Thanks for your information. Will try to buy some. george If I buy the elbows do you think I steel need to buy 1/4 inch push on hose fitting?

RolandE Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I ordered my brass bushings here for a Dynasty year 2003, I needed on all air springs these bushings. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/69857 Roland
Jdw12345 Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 If you are close to a heavy truck dealer (Peterbilt, Kenworth, etc) they seem to have a fair assessment of fittings like that on hand.
Hypoxia Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 Air Springs Conti Tech 99-12P 730 (AS8897) (64664) Removal: 1 ¼” wrench & Large Crescent - remove air nut first Break off the 90° 1/4" fittings not easily reached with a wrench 1 1/8” Socket & Flex ratchet – remove 3/4" bushing (bushing will not fit through the 1 1/8” hole) ¾” Socket – remove two upper and two lower nuts last & remove bag Use extractor to remove broken fitting piece from bushing Stubby 1/2" pneumatic impact wrench helps Drill hole to at least 1 ¼” and bushing won’t have to be removed next time
georgeandlouise1 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks for your information. Could you please tell me where I can purchase the 3/4 to 1/4 bushing. George
Ivylog Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) EBay but you shouldn’t need any. Edited October 3, 2021 by Ivylog
georgeandlouise1 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks but I need the bushing end to be 1/4 push on type so you can put the 1/4 inch rear air line hose into the fittings. Thanks again for your reply.

George Generally any hardware store. You should be able to re-use those bushings though. You will need the 1/4" elbows from NAPA, any truck store, Parker store etc. similar to these 1/4" NPT elbow to 1/4" tube
