I don't know if you would call it a detailed procedure.
If you ordered the valves from Rob he would have directed you to the ones made to replace the Ridewell valves. The reason this is important is the Ridewell mounting holes are horizontal and the KOR holes are vertical. Or vice versa. Anyhoo, if you bought the Ridewell replacements, the holes will mount up with the existing holes. If you can get the rear tires off, this will be much easier. If not, it can be done but the installer needs to be sort of little like me.
There are two bolts that hold the valve to the frame rail. The valves should have come to you with push on air fittings. The only thing to be careful of is to keep the supply line from coach air, and the line going to the six pack going to the right port on the valve.
Keep in mind you will need to exhaust all the supply air to make the change. In theory, and in practice the six pack should keep the air bags inflated and the coach up. However, it would be insane to do this work with out blocking the frame of the coach to keep it from crushing the installer.
Adjust the linkage to obtain the correct ride height. You can do this much easier, if you will let the coach down to below ride height and then put in travel mode before taking a measurement. If you let it settle from above ride height the hysteresis in the valve can trick you.
