Jack up the car and put it on jack stands
Undo the bleed screw from the actuator
Drain the system
It comes out under High pressure
Remove the strut (yes they can be on TIGHT and can take some time)
To get the strut out undo the 21mm bolt of the traction arm (i needed to replace them)
Remove the rear seats, C pillars, DSP box and cover (see other write ups)
Cut the SLS line
Lucky could not care less
Yes they were on tight!
All new stuff
Lube the shaft so it will be easy to remove if you ever have to remove them
All installed
Link to parts needed
# 3,4,5,6,8,10
And this is why
The diameter from the SLS struts and normal struts are different
Left SLS right normal
It was hot!
Other side cutting
Remove the arm from the actuator
Have a technical question, don't send me a PM but post it on the board so others can benefit from it!
Remove the left front lower cover to get to the lines
3 lines, the thick line is the fuel return line,
The 2 small ones are the feeder and return line
Cut the lines and install a gas line (rubber) and some hose clamps
Pinch the lines that run to the rear and use some cable ties to fixate the lines
All done and enjoy the ride
