Hi.
I have 3+ suspension on my car that has dropped due to pump failure and i plan to replace the pump only.
I can access the nipples under front of car , but maybe not the rear, my trolley jack won't reach high enough.
Will still be safe to remove hoses from LDS tank? What bad things may happen!?
Partly depressurize suspension.

Just put a couple of paving slabs or similar under the trolley jack.

Just set the suspension to low and you will have no trouble, I've done a few and never depressurised them.
If you do depressurise for any reason be careful to ensure that you have a good tight fitting hose on the bleed screw or you'll get a soaking.

Really? No depressurize. That is good to read. So fluid won't erupt everywhere, I'll have time to drain into a container?

Re: Partly depressurize suspension.
If you take out the under wing plastic you'll find there's a join at the bottom of the hose from the pump, part it there and drain it into a bowl, you have to take that hose off altogether to get the pump off because it's a tight fit in the body panel and can't pass through, if you start at the top you'll get a wash in oil so start at the bottom and get the oil out first.
