Then use a small flat-head screwdriver on the underside of the socket to push the old terminal out. Insert the new terminals noting which way the locking lug goes to ensure it does not slide back out. I do not believe the pressure switch wires go in any particular order, or I have just been lucky on the few I have changed. Cheers, Paul.

There are three types of shafts used in the valve block. I shall post an update to these instructions over the weekend showing which one goes where. Cheers, Paul. Hi Brian

I hope you can help me a little more. Before replacing the o-rings i had a gradual lowering of the rear while parked in cooler weather. At times I also would notice the front end would raise an inch or two. This prompted me to replace the o-rings to hopefully remedy the problems. Now I'm done with the valve renew process and its worse. Most of the old o-rings were flatened and extremely hard, so I thought the new ones would fix me up. The truck now evenly lowers to the bumps on the rear after 30-45 minutes being parked. It still has an occasional raising in the front when parked. Have I improperly replaced some of the o-rings? I have heard that the tiny o-ring that fits on the metal shaft of the valve can be tricky to seat properly and will cause strange symptoms. Is this true? My pump seems to run frequently also. I checked my connections on the block and the bags with soapy water, seems to be no bubbles. The truck elevates and levels when started but it seems a little slower than usual. all suspension hieght settings seem to work properly too. I appreciate any feedback, thanks for the time!

the Air Compressor pump itself make a lot of noise due to vibrations, my garage changed the EAS Compressor vibration mounts, vibration are still there and are still noisy but by holding with my hands the rear part of the compressor the noise completely vanish… Any idea on how to fix this once and for all?

I bought the kit from Hard Range and also did the compressor. I have a problem though; everything appears to be operating fine; compressor on, EAS switch not flashing etc. I've checked for leaks and waited around 15 mins for the tank to fill but my MY99 won't lift; just flashes. Port 11 seems to be blowing off air. Have I a hard fault? Thanks for any suggestions, Ren Hi Paul,
