Does anyone on the forum have any experience replacing the hydraulic two-room manifold/valve on a Solitude (or probably Momentum) with the hydraulic slides? This two-valve manifold is the one which can be used to select which of the hydraulic slides goes in or out first, etc. On our 310GK, it's located on the partition between the passenger side LP compartment and the front battery compartment. We have a very small fluid leak from ours and I'm working with GD to get a replacement. The issue is that there are no mobile techs within 2-1/2 hours of Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland!
I have spoken with LCI technical support and the process seems straightforward. The tech said that there shouldn't be any real pressure in the lines once with slides are brought in and the valves are closed, but there may be a little "dripping" and to keep the open ends of the lines elevated after removal. Bleeding the system just involves running the slides in and out and letting any bubbles in the reservoir float to the surface and pop each time. My question is this: if you have performed this replacement yourself, how did it go? Was it messy or did you loose significant amounts of fluid?
