Have ordered 'comfort' spheres which hopefully will give a ride approaching my old CX and XM (on comfort) spheres.
Please advise on changing these, have changed them on all other models before but there is no handbook on C5.
Need to know a. Where is the de-pressuring point b. When it is up on a lift and all wheels are dangling is this the method to remove the old ones.
c. Will the system pressurize itself automatically on start up.
I am also changing the regulator spheres.
Thanks for any advice.

Crack the rear spheres with engine running and in high.
ideally get the car on a 4 post lift,let the engine run for 30 seconds in the low position. on models with hydractive 3+ there are de-pressurising nipples on each of the stiffness regulators,just put a tube over the nipples to direct the LDS fluid into a container.
The system should pressurise itself ok then just do a few low-high cycles.
