So my AHC globes appeared to be toast: 6 ticks on the reservoir between H/L and crumby ride. I got a set of used globes that were in good working order when removed. I've got a couple questions:
1. Is there any way to tell if one globe is OK on or off the rig?
1.5. I noticed when bleeding the pressure off the Passenger side globes that there were no bubbles in the line the fluid, where as the driver's side was frothy like Cujo's mouth. Is this an indicator that the DS side was toast, but maybe the PS is OK?
2. When trying to remove the used globes from their actuator with a strap wrench, I heard a sound like gas escaping, like the sound of popping a beer open or opening a can of tennis balls. I can't be certain where the sound came from. I haven't heard the sound in the garage before, but it could have been the hot water heater or furnace which are close to my work bench. My concern of course is that I broke one of these globes. Thoughts?
