How much did you have to drink while working on it to put it in?
Are we talking about all the parts? Valve, spring, and grommet missing?

[armyguy116]

the valve everything else was there the grommit and spring were still in place and hadn't had anythang to drink that day maybe that was the problem

[99yam40]

I do not think the valve could go through the grommet & opening unless it fell apart into small pieces, and I have never heard of that before

[armyguy116]

got me puzzled not sure wat to do

[rodbolt17]

as the valve is on the water discharge side and it simply wont fit through the hose its either in the ex cover or sitting on your work bench.
