AiROCK height sensor replacement

AiROCK Height Sensor Replacement

Part #:

I had a height sensor that wasn't working correctly. The shaft was loose inside the housing causing some erroneous readings. Steve at Off Road Only sent me out a new sensor so that I could change it out. Nothing really hard about changing it out, just need to pay attention to how things are mounted.

Additional Parts:

Tools Needed:
Phillips Screw Driver
11/32" Allen Wrench

Installation:

1. After removing the sensor from the vehicle, note where the anodized arm is in relationship to the shaft. The shaft has a small flat cut into it. This flat should be parallel with the top of the anodized arm.

2. Remove the set screw with an 11/32" Allen wrench. This is a really tiny set screw, so don't screw it out all the way, just far enough to remove the arm.

3. Remove the two phillips screws holding the sensor on to the bracket. Note which direction the electrical lead was positioned. Normally they all are pointed up towards the top of the bracket.

4. Now remove the sensor from the space age packing container (aka. Spray can lid). Thanks Steve.

5. Install the new sensor. Install the two phillips screws into the sensor. Remember you are screwing into plastic.

6. Reinstall the anodized arm onto the sensor shaft. Ensure that the flat on the shaft and the top of the arm are parallel. Tighten the 11/32" Allen head set screw.

7. Reinstall the arm onto the vehicle.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
