G'Day Folks,
I've got an L322 currently sat on its arse with an air suspension issue.
One year ago I replaced the gaskets, etc in the compressor (Bagpipe Andy kit) and all was working fine.
Last week the rear suspension stopped working - It went all the way down and stayed there.
My elcheapo diag tool reports "Reservoir Pressure Static When Filling" so I'm guessing there may be an issue with the valve block solenoids.
I have ordered the O'Ring kit from 4x4Airseals to hopefully resolve the problem.

I'm currently in the process of removing the 3 solenoids. The front and rear came out very easily but I've run into a problem trying to remove the middle solenoid next to the air reservoir tank.
I have released 5 of the air pipes with the 12mm nut but there is a 6th pipe that doesn't have a nut and I can't work out how to release it from the solenoid housing.
Please see picture attached...
Can anyone tell me how to release this pipe?
Many Thanks[/b]

You failed to upload your image

See here for when I had mine apart (many years ago)

Re-reading indicates that all six pipes had a 12mm nut on them ?

Perhaps one of yours has a push/pull fitting ?

Thanks for your reply.
There are definitely 5 pipes with the 12mm nut and a 6th pipe with out a nut.
I've pushed and pulled and twisted but the bloody thing won't move - I'm worried if I keep trying I may damage the pipe or solenoid.
I've spent hours searching YouTube for the magic instruction on how to release the pipe but can't find anything.

I may have to try and do the O'Ring replacements with the solenoid still connected to the pipe.

I appreciate your help.
Cheers

SUCCESS!!!

I have solved the issue.
It did turn out to be a 'push release' mechanism that I unfortunately broke off with a flat screwdriver trying to prize the pipe out - Stupid me.
There was however enough of the push fitting exposed that I could push it in with a small flat screwdriver and release the pipe.

Next challenge is to work out it the pipe can be re-secured with the push fitting mechanism remaining or if I need to replace the fitting.

Well done (sort of ) If you are lucky it may push back in and hold. .
