EAS valve block refurb

Theroadlesstravelled · Jan 29, 2013

Morning All,

Eas valve block refurbishment

Just finished replacing all the o rings and diaphragm on a spare block, I ordered the o ring kit from Island 4x4 and have 1 o ring over from the solenoid bag and about 20 o rings over from airline bag

positive i did not miss any, and confirm I put 2 o rings in each airline holes on side of block as that is what I removed. Is it usual to have extras in the kit ?

Also the best way to test the block ? on car I presume or ??

Thanks

Count the O rings in the kit and count as you remove the old ones if you have more in the kit than you removed, they oversupplied. Test on the car.

Don't forget you have bags and its dryer part of the air line kit isn't it

+1 Although if you've bought new bags (certainly the arnott ones) they have o-rings in already.

Unless of course you have three with and one without. Took me an hour of trimming pipes and flaffing before I realised Arnott had decided not to fit them to one of my new bags.

Although I can't talk really - the less said about my EAS overhaul the better - Saint, Datatek and Wammers can all attest to that

<whispers> Still, no issues 7 months later </whispers!!!>
