    rear air suspension

    I´m trying to remove the rear air shock absorbers, the left side air coupling has no plastic release clip , any suggestions how to unhook it please?

    I just did mine, this past weekend. Each plastic ring, is supposed to have two tabs, to. Pinch together. My right side air spring, only had one. I had to get creative in getting it out. I managed. Sounds like your ring is in place, but both tabs are broken away. You May need to get in the with 2 small screwdrivers and work your magicm. I know this doesn't help much, but good luck.
