- Bleed the spring strut.
To bleed the level adjustment system (compressed air must be released from the system), use the Porsche System Tester. To do this, select the Bleed levelling system menu item in the Levelling system.
- Before raising the vehicle, loosen the drive shaft mounting at the wheel side. Operate the brake whilst doing so (a second mechanic is required).
