strut solenoid

[vernonz_426]

my air ride is doin crazy things where my left front is stuck as high as it will go. the strut is so hard if u push the car it dosent move at all. i think this is the height sensor but im not sure. i took the solenoid out and it was so full of pressure it demolished the top of the solenoid. i ordered a new one and im going to get a new sensor now. i cant get the solenoid off of the air line itself. any one who can help me and tell me now to take the solenoid and sensor off would help a bunch.
thanks

RE: strut solenoid

To get the air line out of the valve, PUSH the colored collar toward the valve while pulling on the air line.

Inside the valve, the colored collar has a sectioned end. The air line has a bulge at the tip. When you try to pull out the air line without pushing on the collar, the bulge presses against the collar end and forces it into the collar hole. There is no place for the end of the collar, where it is split into sections, to expand. Hence the hose is blocked. By pushing in the collar, the sections are not inside the hole. The air line budge expands the collar sections and slips inside the collar. Then it comes out.
