2005 SL500 - Front Left Strut - Quick Connector
Hi all,
Can someone provide me with some guidance regarding the quick connector from the front left strut to the hydraulic line?
More particularly, I purchased a rebuilt ABC front left strut and I have tried twice to connect the hydraulic line, both times the line disconnected and fluid was splashed everywhere. I think that the issue was that I was not installing the quick connector properly.
Can someone look at the following picture and advise whether the male end of the strut has gone far enough into the female end?

many thanks
