Hi all

Hope all is well

I am today going to change the front relief valve in the drivers wheel well

What I wish to know is that I have read on another forum that when the person who removed the valve he switched on the vehicle that in turn started the compressor that blew air through the line removing any possibly dust between the valve that sits in front of the compressor and the front of the vehicle in the air line

If I did this will I damage anything or is it not advisable doing this?

Regards

I would just replace and see how it goes, you can get valve rebuild kits off of ebay, under 20 quid gives you the seals for all three valves.
