C6 HOW TO replace front suspension unit

Unread post by citroenroen »

what are steps to remove my failed front suspension unit on 2006 C6 ?
1 . How do I depressurize suspension ? (prior to removal ?)
2. at what point / when do I remove suspension sphere ?
3. when do I remove 3 allen headed bolts on top ?
4. is removal through bottom?
5. any other pieces that need to be removed / detached in order to facilitate suspension unit removal ?
6. I have been unable to find new line seals ? Can I reuse old seals ? Or does someone have new seals available ?

Thank you
