WARNING: Do not remove an air spring under any circumstances when there is pressure in the air spring. Do not remove any components
supporting an air spring without either exhausting the air or providing support for the air spring to prevent vehicle damage or personal
injury.
WARNING: Disconnecting an air line that is connected to the air compressor can cause personal injury or damage to components as high
pressure air is vented uncontrolled.
1. Remove the air spring.
2. CAUTION: Remove any dirt or other debris from the air spring assembly before removing the air spring solenoid.
