Default DIY diverter valves

Has anyone replaced the diverter valves themselves?
how long?
special tools?
any pictures?

TIA,
Marty K

It is really tight. I had my mechanic do it. Stephen has posted instructs.

My dealer replaced mine with Baileys - under warranty. It took the mechanic about 45 min and it didn't cost me a dime.

not worth driving to the dealer unless you have two left hands. by the time you drive there you will be done with the job.

Little hands are a must. I did my own (large hands) and helped another do his. Biggest PIA is that the valve clamps on the F-hose face the front of the car and they are difficult to access. I ended up buying a small hacksaw and cutting off the Bosch DVs. Replace all clamps with those supplied with the Baileys. AWE also has instructions.

which diverters are best?
I see that AWE (no affiliation) has the Bailey Motorsport Alloy in Black or Silver @ $159 each.
You need (2) of course!

I've had the Baileys on for over three years. No issues.
