[W126 Coupe] Rear spheres

[Mike R.]

All I do is gently loosen a fitting on a sphere to depressurize the lines,
then just pull the spheres. I guess I could use the bleed line on the valve,
but it's not that much fluid and this way it's all done in one process (too
lazy to wait overnight).

You don't need to drain the reservoir.  With the pump not running, the fluid
in the reservoir won't drain.  However, the fluid from the pump to the
spheres will need to be drained.  What I do is jack up the car the night
before and drain via the bleed screw on the SLS valve attached to the rear
sway bar.

Hi Folks

  I am in the process of fitting the above,should I syphon the fluid
resovoir or just clamp off the rubber hoses connected to the spheres to
prevent excess fluid loss.I understand they are pressurised so unlike brake
hoses the clamping may not work.
