Yesterday we blocked the coach up and I started rebuilding the front six pack insitu. I started with the front three and quickly got the hang of it. The top one though I had to remove the back nut to get it off since the bracket that goes around the solenoid would not turn it was hitting the top of the metal frame of the coach. But I got all three done before I was freezing and had to go inside. One was definitely a little loose and the o-ring a little dirty and I think that's where my leak is. Today I did the other three. I had marked everything with colored zip ties but I tried to use my memory for which three went in order. Yeah no surprise to me I transpose the black and the blue zip ties but it was easily fixed when I tried to raise the coach and it wouldn't raise switch those two around and now everything works. However stands are still in because I have some other work I want to do but at some point I need to hook up the HWH computer again and see if things are any different which I don't think they will be. I'm still waiting on a call back from them and don't really expect anything before the last week of the year if not the first week of next year. I'm thinking in the meantime about just making a box to control it from the cockpit two switches for the front raise and lower two switches for the rear and two switches for the travel mode I have a Bluetooth level that I can reinstall. If HWH is not able to help me in any reasonable time frame then that's plan b. I don't have any problems with the rear six pack so I'm not going to rebuild that at this point and just save the kit for that later. Two of my solenoids were not original. The whole thing had been replaced as an entire part so I'm just thinking somebody went to the factory rather than just rebuilding it.
But I really appreciate the rebuild kits for these things and the little wrench came in handy. The toilet paper though had started to disintegrate.
Make sure you lubricate the o-rings I was going to use some silicone lubricant that I use on my water filtration system but couldn't find it so I used petroleum jelly instead. Either way I think that will give me a leak free seal knock on wood.
Hats off to twig for helping me not only get the thing up on the jack stands but also for checking the solenoids today. Couldn't have done it without you buddy.
