I THINK I should have the gate valves replaced on my CC Allure. One seems like it wants to stick on me.
It SEEMS to me since I can see the bolts that hold them in that a guy can loosen them...pull the existing valves out....insert the new valve and button it all back up again.
Dealer says no way ( His $$ an hours "tech" says it cant happen).. He says they needs to get in the guts and loosen a tank to have room to work. ??? That simply removing the existing valves wont give them the room they need to work.
I says its BS
What say you people that may have replaced your own?
Sully, I've changed mine out a few times and the last time I did it, I noticed a "sleeve" on the grey tank outlet with a hose clamp on it. Loosening the hose clamp allowed me to slide the sleeve back toward the tank which gave me plenty of space to easily slide in and out the gate valves on both sides.
