Air Spring: Removal
- Turn off air suspension switch, located in trunk. See Figure and Figure. Raise vehicle on hoist so rear suspension is at full extension. Remove heat shield as required. Disconnect electrical connector at air spring solenoid.
- Remove air spring solenoid clip. Rotate solenoid counterclockwise to first stop. To bleed air from system, pull solenoid straight out slowly to second stop. After air is completely bled from system, rotate solenoid counterclockwise to third stop and remove from housing.
- Remove spring piston-to-axle spring seat by inserting Air Spring Removal Tool (T90P-5310-A) or equivalent between axle tube and spring seat on forward side of axle. Position tool so its flat end rests on piston knob. Push downward, forcing piston and retainer clip off axle spring seat.
