Hi all
can anyone point me to the thread(s) that contain the DIY rear valve block kit replacement.
I find reference to them everywhere but for the life of me I cannot find the link/thread anywhere

My experience can be found here, Rear valve block rebuild story - First post There are several other helpful posts on the subject. I found that after building my own disconnect tool I really did not need the 17 mm clawfoot tool mentioned in other posts. Good luck.

Don't suppose you have been able to post a pic of your home made tool to date

Here's the link to his post. I'm also planning this project for both the front and rear valve blocks.

Be nice to find some pics associated with the DIY fix

This troubleshooting guide helped me to better understand the system. There are some links within it that discuss specifics regarding the ABC system. Look on pages 16-19 that discuss the valve blocks. There are good detailed pics of the valve blocks and the solenoids and a few links to some write-ups on Mbworld and the other forum that should help.

James, the PDF seems to be a 'condensation" of the original blog. There's quite a bit of information missing in it. I'm not sure who put this PDF together, and it's a good idea to have it like that, but quite a bit of information has been omitted. Here is the link to the original write-up:
