Air Pressure Problem

[cglaser2@...>]

Hello again all,

Well now that all the planets are back in alignment (my travel has slowed
down, the weather is nice, some honeydoo's are completed) I am back to this
problem. I imagine all of you were on the right track but let me try to
describe it a little better. At the bottom of the cylinder is a small
philips head screw that secures a rubber washer to a round cap about the
size of a coke bottle cap (new style, not the old one we had to use a bottle
opener for) I put that in just in case any of you are old enough to remember
bottle openers. This cap has a triangular shape base and is attached to a
nut about 2 inches across by three small philips head screws. My question
is do I need to unscrew the big nut?

From the air dryer chalenged not so big nut.

Unscrew the part(4 screws) and take it to NAPA and get a new purge valve kit
Bendix part # BX287053 about $13.94. Install the new one.Its for a Bendix
AD-2 air dryer.
