Everything you always wanted to know about ram bushes but was afraid to ask Mike, is all here...

Same roughly will apply to the other side too..

In fact have a good look at my website and it tells you most you need top know about rams and the bits they link to...

It's a hex (Allen) bolt Mike... 6mm I recall and bloody tight. You need a good Allen bit and a longish bar.

And yes, it helps to depressurise but it's not easy. Normal method (opening the bleed screw on the regulator doesn't work to depressurise the activa system. Best way is to leave the car on normal height and vigorously rock it to make the activa system work and so depressurise it.
