I got my suspension stuff in, and was messing around with the pushloc fittings.. I didnt see how they worked, so i pushed my airline in, and now i see how they work. ahaha. Anyway i can get that airline out of the fitting so i can install it the right way???

I didnt trim the line at the end so it was a nice 90 degree on it. Let me know.

There will be a "collar" on the fitting where the line fits in. Push the collar in and pull the line out... Should be pretty simple.

take an open end wrench the size of the tubing (1/4" - 3/8" - 1/2"-whatever) then use the open-end to "straddle" the tubing and push down on the collar while pulling the opposite direction with the tubing ... it should pop right out

That's a good tip Shane... I never had problems removing them with just my fingers but if you had a stubborn connection, your method would work great.
