Paul thank you for sharing all this information. Glad you weren't stuck on

I cannot attest that all model BBs will have the solenoid manifold
with the T handles located in the same place, but am pretty sure that
all WB, LX and LXi models should have them in the same place.
If your manifold is located in front of the steps and up higher, then
this solution "should" work for you. Make sure you retract the jacks
first!
There is plenty of slack in all the cables and hoses, so all you have
to do is remove the manifold, file or grind the cutout open a bit
more, and just turn it 180 degrees. This will put the T handles within
easy reach once you move your generator out on it's slides. The
handles will be easily accessible if you just reach behind the headlight.
You will find it much easier to do if you remove the hoses (neater if
you plug the hoses while working on them). The system is no under
pressure when the jacks are retracted and is self priming. There will
be only a few drops of fluid lost.
Make sure you get the hoses on the correct solenoid after turning. the
two outside solenoids are LR & RR and the center solenoids are LF &
RF. Test the system when you think you are finished. The right side
jacks should deploy first (both front and back) then the left side.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
