I was wondering if ours has spin-ons or could be modified? Sure be handy!  ^.^d

Mike,
From my records (ASSUMING it has not been changed with another brand/model):  Already upgraded from Bendix AD-4 to Bendix AD-IP.

One large bolt (called "cartridge bolt" in the above PDF) from bottom secures filter.  EASY.

So, I can just order the filter and not screw around removing the whole assembly? Wowsers!  ^.^d

Mike ,with all due respect while sitting in the Desert you could be reading all about them and learning as you should know about this item and the miriad of other things that are important. That is what I do  and keep going online  for issues/fixes that are not in those FT books. I take out info from various places that COULD impact me on the road and start my own diary so I hopefully can make a judgement and fix while out O  the road.
Just my 3 cents worth ( converted to canadian )

Hey all! Thank you so much for all your help! It was not fun being stuck in an unwanted place in Mississippi with no brakes/air! It turned out that the governor and dryer needed to be replaced. We are now in Lynn Haven, FL and everything is working properly. Again, thank you for all your help and quick responses. I've learned so much about the air system and I'm not mechanical at all... I guess I can learn to be. Blessings!
