Valves should face outwards, towards the wheel  :y

When removing old ones, worth quick wire brush around the thread so not to pull muck into it.

If standard shocks were fitted, also worth checking fuse to self levelling pump, as it may have been pulled  :y

Did he same but there is two places where the vacuum hose was broken, is there any cheap safe fix on this as i dont know how much preasure this pump gives? My first tought was puting some rc fuel hoses and extend and superglue the broken parts.  ::)
Or just get something similar from the local industrial hose repair shop.
