Ok I tried to move the lever up which should lower the car. I heard the valve whine like it was working, but no movement of the car. I finally rotated the lever 360 degrees and pushed up, the car came back down. So my wife can drive it again and I can go skiing. I'm not sure why I had to do a full revolution, but I think my valve may be worn out. So I have to replace the valve I can't rebuild it? Oh well a project for another day.

Thanks for the help.

Chris
