	Remove/install
1	Remove front engine compartment paneling		AR61.20-P-1105LF
2	Remove left front fender liner		AR88.10-P-1300LF

	Check
4	Spray pressure line connections on suspension struts (10, 11, 12, 13) with leak detection spray	Wait for roughly 10 to 15 minutes after spraying the compressed-air lines. This allows smaller leaks to be detected (bubbles form). Larger leaks are visible immediately. Leak detection spray	*BR00.45-Z-1002-03A
5	Spray top and bottom of dust boots on suspension struts (10, 11, 12, 13) with leak detection spray	After spraying the top and bottom of the dust boots on the suspension struts, wait approx. 10 to 15 min. This allows smaller leaks to be detected (bubbles form). Larger leaks are visible immediately. Leak detection spray	*BR00.45-Z-1002-03A
6	Spray leak detection spray onto the pressure line connections on AIRmatic valve unit (Y36/6) and AIRMATIC compressor (A9/1)	Wait for roughly 10 to 15 minutes after spraying the compressed-air lines. This allows smaller leaks to be detected (bubbles form). Larger leaks are visible immediately. Leak detection spray	*BR00.45-Z-1002-03A
7	Spray leak detection spray onto the pressure line connections on the pressure reservoir (A) (if installed)	Wait for roughly 10 to 15 minutes after spraying the compressed-air lines. This allows smaller leaks to be detected (bubbles form). Larger leaks are visible immediately. Leak detection spray	*BR00.45-Z-1002-03A
8	Cover rear shelf or trim in area of pressure line connections with clean rags	Socket wrench bit	Figure
