All I've ever done to replace bump stops is place it roughly in the right position on the axle pad and jacked the wheel up to push the bump stop on. Never failed me!
I tried a recalibration of my EAS this week (twice) using T4 and the genuine LR calibration blocks.
It hasn't worked that well and I can no longer get access mode. A TSB says to remove the rear bump stops if one can't get access mode (lights continue to flash). So I did.
Do you think I could get the blasted thing back on?
In the end, I had to slit the hole to get it to open up enough to go over the retention mushroom.
I don't know if the calibration failed because I have Arnotts Gen 3 air springs and the suspension didn't sit like it does with standard springs. If I can't get it to calibrate, I'll refit the standard springs to try again.

I remember trying wd40, then cracking it and releasing the air from the back springs to squash them back on.

use a spacer block so you dont have to lift is quite so high...
just a chunk of pine will typically do

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
Yep, I tried that, too.
Below the images are the measured wheel arch heights, measured from the centre of the wheel, not from the ground. I used the centre of the wheel as it takes out the variation in tyre wear. LR give the dimensions to the ground and one has to allow for wear. Note that my calibration attempts and measurements were done on a level concrete slab, not the driveway as shown in the pics.

High (set by Testbook with long calibration blocks)
LF 520 RF 520
LR 520 RR 520
Standard (these are set by Testbook after setting access with the short blocks)
LF 470 RF 490
LR 480 RR 480
I was unable to measure at Highway height as I can't get the car to drop to there when stopped.
Ditto with access height.
OK, I need some help from someone with a Nanocom and an early P38A, preferably GEMS with standard suspension. I think later cars use a different sensor so the bit count could be different.
My Nanocom readings are shown below. I'd like to know another vehicles settings.
High (Stored/Live)

Pix added. I've used Photoshop to rotate the images so the wheel centre caps are aligned to a horizontal line.

Leslie's car, 1996 GEMS with Gen 3's, stored readings:
Access
F 77/86
R 76/74
Highway
F 108/118
R 100/96
Standard
F 124/135
R 113/109
High
F 150/162
R 134/128
My car, 1998 EDC, standard springs:
Access:
F 66
R 69
Highway
F 92
R 89
Standard
F 108
R 102
High
F 140
R 128
My car had a variation of 5 points between left & right originally but it also had a slight lean to the low point side. I evened the points to correct the lean.
Leslie's car has a variation up to 12 points difference but appears OK level wise.

Ron, when I put my extended bump stops on I raised the car to "normal" height then put a block of wood between bump stop and bottom plate greased up the locating pin for the bump stop as well as the bump stop itself then aligned the bump stop with the locating pin. Using the bypass valve released some air on the appropriate corner and the bump stops located themselves back into position without a problem.
