Ok I just started test fitting my Pitot connections using the Safeair kit. I already have a couple of newby questions. And don't say I'm sucking air. Ok corny.
I did a test fit of the tubing by the bellcrank and installed the tubing into the "quick release" fitting. I can't seem to release the tubing now. I pulled back the collar but I can't get the tubing out. I'm afraid to pull back any more on the collar since I might break it. Any tricks here? These aren't one time use right?
The other thing I was wondering about was sealant on the threads of the NPT fittings. What is the suggested method of sealing these threads? Is Teflon tape a no-no? I think I have some sealant that I bought for the fuel lines if I can find it. Something like 767, but I can't remember the number right now.
