Default HyperBoost Valve

Man I thought switching them out was going to be easy, I went to go look real quick and it seems that it is actually and ordeal!

For those of you who have done it, did you go from underneath the car?
Thanks

Default yep, jack it up from the passenger side, tear off the plastic shroud, and go at it

it's not as bad as you think, as long as you have room to extend your arms. if you try working like a t-rex (little baby arms) you won't have fun. good luck!

Default it's really very easy

jack up car :1 minute
Remove black plastic shroud: 3 minutes

the valve is staring at you...all you have to do is switch it now. It should take no more than 30 minutes total.
