Bosch hydraulics on 111th Ave in between 178th Street and 184th Street might carry it, they seem to carry everything. I needed a fitting to connect my air gun to my SCBA tank, I looked all over the city and they were the only ones that carry the right fitting

Most truck accessory or suspension shop.
Have you pulled it out, recut it and put it back in?

so the release collar was solid.. I got it moving but cannot get the hose out. I'm willing to replace it all from the shrader valve to the bag now for my sanity. I can barely get my fingers in there, its right under the box floor and above the bag. a real fist ****...

Any truck shop, simple and basic fitting. Those old plastic inserts get hard over the years and no longer fit well, you can try cutting a 1/2 inch off the hose and retrying but usually will start to leak soon after. Just change the fitting, all will be good.

Yah it’s a super common fitting. I don’t like those push style fittings. Go to greggs or any truck and trailer supplier and get the good old fashioned ones you tighten with a wrench.
Or if you get that one apart it might be leaking because someone cut it with some type of snips like side cutters. When you do that it crushes the air line and will leak, you need to cut it with a knife or air line cutter then they seal

Don’t bother with them POS. Buy a 90° brass fitting with a brass ferrule. Did that with my air bags and never had a leak since. Any big truck shop, Greggs, hydraulic shop, Acklands will have those fittings.

had to swap mine to brass with a ferrule as they started leaking. Got mine from Lordco so probably any Napa or Greggs in AB.
