Hello! Im new into this, recently I've got a Discovery II 2000, the drivers side air spring broke and I have the new air spring, and is the same number, Im sure is the one, but one detail, The connector of the air bag is in a voss connector and the air line is a screw one, the old bag have a screw female connection too. Do I need to remove the voss metal top? I have tried to remove it slowly, it rotates either directions but it does not come out. Any suggestions will be very appreciated. Thank you!

Push the screw connector up the air line out of the way and cut the air pipe directly behind the olive with a sharp blade. Slide off old connector and push pipe into air bag.

^^^ +1 ... just that you can "open" that "ring" with a sharp screwdriver or two pliers and then you dont have to cut the pipe.

Hello people, thanks for your reply! I did cut the pipe, but when it starts to inflate the pressure of the bag spit out the pipe :/

contitech,though dunlop are supposed to be alright, its cheaper britpart ones that are poor though they did tell me they now had genuine connectors fitted but seems not good genuine ones if they are
