2004 S55 AMG hydraulic strut diy? Any info helps plz
Hows it going everyone ,
Im sure you've probably noticed im trying to fix and diy my 2004 w220 on some issues 2 of them are the front struts . I'm in need on some diy on removing and installing a strut (hydraulic) not airmatic. I've searched online and most are airmatic/air springs and only found one cl55 diy replacement which was then converted to coils ugh so that didnt help for the reinstalling part
I saw on the vid you have to bleed off the hydraulic pressure that goes to the strut? So after removing and installing a new/used strut will i need a star system??? I know for airmatic u do in order to inflate/deflate strut but im assuming hydraulic is different?

What Nick said but you shouldnt have to wait an hour...15-20 mins.......like he said be careful with the quik connector when reinstalling since you may "think" its snapped in place but may not be and fluid will **** everywhere when you start the car......fairly easy job with a lift.
