Cls 500 air strut
Replacing my front right strut- how can I get the air out ? I try the battery on and off , but not enough air came off. The car is jack off , only in the right side. What else can I do? Help

Undo the air line under the hood? 10mm wrench, should be simple.

Without STAR, you have to continuously cycle the key, letting the system depressurize the shock a little bit at a time.
