parts were a direct fit for the old parts and the whole project took me less than one hour. I now have a working air compressor again!
They were new as I expected them to be.

Good fast service
Having trouble with installation. Not your fault. Cannot come up with a thin walled nut driver to fit down into the plastic shroud retaining holes to remove the nut head bolts. I will refer to your videos or you can advise me. I don't know why Craftsman didn't use phillips head bolts at this point rather than nut heads!!! Thanks
