HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
The spring lock coupling is held together by a garter spring inside a circular cage. When the coupling is
connected together, the flared end of the female fitting slips behind the garter spring inside the cage of the
male fitting. The garter spring and cage then prevent the flared end of the female fitting from pulling out of
the cage. As an additional locking feature, most vehicles have a horseshoe−shaped retaining clip that
improves the retaining reliability of the spring lock coupling.
