Hose Clamp CAC-1206-1

I used a screwdriver to remove two screws holding the motor onto the frame. Then unscrewed four screws to open the motor housing. Then removed the broken hose. Attached the new hose and clamped the hose on each end to secure it. Simple. Just remember to route the motor power cord inside the motor housing along the edge when putting the housing back together to avoid the fan from striking the cord. Reverse procedure in reassembling

I've never made a repair on a pancake compressor before. I disassemble the housing and tried to determine where the leak was coming from. The design made it particularly difficult to ascertain what had failed. I initially thought the head gasket and maybe the valve plate were the cause. I changed those components and the compressor still leaked (significantly). It then became obvious the check valve was the culprit. I only noticed the hi pressure hose was worn and needed changing. Upon disassembly I found the check valve rusted inside and out. Once I changed those components and reassembled. The compressor operated as expected. It holds pressure just as I would expect.

1. Disconnected the motor from housing.
2. Disconnected wiring to open up the compressor unit.
3. Removed two hose clamps and replaced two hoses.
4. Reconnect wiring and reassemble compressor housing.
5. Plug in and test.

1.Remove compressor from tank.
2. Unscrew old manifold from tank. Nipple remained in tank.
3. Easy-out removes nipple.
4. Assemble new manifold onto tank.Install compressor and hook up the hoses.
5. New manifold has hose barb in wrong spot, hard to contort the hose to fit.

Swapped out hoses and clamps

Needed to open up the housing on the compressor to remove one clamp at the end of the hose.
Removed the other clamp at the other end, removed the hose and did the reverse with the new hose and clamps.
