The hardest part was threading the lines back into the valve body. Be careful those aluminum threads strip really easy! On the adjustment arm there is a hole that when positioned parallel to ground a small screwdriver or piece of heavy guage wire can be put through it and align with a small indention (hole) in the valve body. This is the position that the arm should be in when everything is adjusted correctly. Good luck.

Where did you get the seals to replace those inside the valve body? My MB dealer has tried unsuccessfully to get them. A few members emailed me asking for help on this and all I could say is not available. Mine drops down a little overnight but after a few days its sitting pretty low but not on the grond so I think its just on its way out, I would like to be able to rebuild it so any ideas on finding suitable seals would be appreciated. Maybe Jadavis could hlep us, hes good at finding Viton O rings to replace the OE ones.
