So after successfully replacing one of the blend motors yesterday, today I started on what I thought would be an easier repair replacing the rear air springs as the back end keeps dropping overnight, removed the timer relay, front stays high the back drops down. Anyway, how wrong I was thinking this would be easier then the blend motors! Firstly I could not get the pipes out of the top of the airbag, they would not budge on either side. Have read numerous guides before starting and thought it be easy but not mine. Anyway eventually I managed to get them out but the pipes are damaged at the end, am I ok to just cut away to damaged area, any advice please? See attached pics, I really don't know why they were so difficult to remove as all the guides I have read and videos on YouTube people seem to remove them within seconds. Then had a job actually removing the bags as they were stuck at the top, ended up getting a crow bar and with lots of effort they finally popped out! Only part of the job which was easy was removing the 4 pins, they came out with any problem at all. Thanks for any advice, appreciate it.
