bracket (5) to the end cover assembly (6). Remove

DISASSEMBLY
The following disassembly and assembly procedure is
presented for reference purposes and presupposes that
a major rebuild of the Bendix ® AD-IP ® air dryer is being
undertaken. The replacement parts and maintenance kits
available generally do not require full disassembly. The
instructions provided with these parts and kits should be
followed in lieu of the instructions presented here. Refer
to Figures 8 and 9 during disassembly.
While performing service on the AD-IP air dryer, it is
recommended that a clamping device (vise, C-clamp, etc.)
not be used to hold any die cast aluminum component as
damage may result. To hold the end cover, install a pipe
nipple in the supply port and clamp the nipple into a vise.
1. Using an adjustable, or socket wrench, loosen the
desiccant cartridge bolt (10), then separate the
desiccant cartridge (11) from the end cover (6). Pull
the desiccant cartridge bolt out of the end cover (6).
