Only once was I able to depressurise the centre spheres and that was when I had a faulty suspension ECU, and I've done a few! If someone has found a way of doing it I would like you to tell me how. AlsoI have never found it necessary to depressurise the system to remove the corner spheres, all you have to do is put the suspension on its lowest setting and leave it for a couple o minutes.

If you depressurise the system then open a door it will activate the electrovalve so open the stiffness valve if there is any pressure left in the system.Peter.N. wrote:Only once was I able to depressurise the centre spheres and that was when I had a faulty suspension ECU, and I've done a few!

When I changed my spheres the rear centre one was hard to undo and leaked a fair amount out as I hadn't depressurised the system, when I did the front it was a very easy to undo and hardly spilt a drop as I had depressurised.

Re: Some Advice Please !!
That only ever worked for me once, with the duff ECU which wasn't holding the valves fully open, I've never been able to get it to work since. If the spheres are completely flat they dont need depressurising - there isn't any pressure in them.

The hydraulic system holds the pressure which then blows oil out as you undo the sphere.Peter.N. wrote:That only ever worked for me once, with the duff ECU which wasn't holding the valves fully open, I've never been able to get it to work since.

Re: Some Advice Please !!
I'm talking about centre spheres only.
