ohgoon2006 Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 hi guys just been under my car to replace all three spheres on the back end i have removed the centre ant sag one and i have noticed that the pipe going to it has snapped ? do you know if you can get a replacment if so how do i remove it as i have undone the nut yet nothing ? the whole self level unit is rusty as hell so is it worth just ripping the whole thing out and replacing ? if so does anybody have a walk through guide ? cheers guys wes Quote
Johndouglas Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 If you had used the search facility on this site you would have found the instructions for removing the antisink sphere. Those are that before undoing the sphere, the 9mm pipe union at the back of the sphere must be loosened first, otherwise - well, you know what happens now. You'll have to loosen off the other end of that broken pipe and get a replacement. Don't know whether you have enough length just to cut the damaged part and reflange. Also get two new seals. The height corrector may be rusty but does it work. If I were you I would do one job at a time. Get the antisink put back together then see if the car raises and lowers. Watch yourself underneath if it isn't supported. Quote

Johndouglas Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 If you've got the union screwed out of the sphere, the pipe should pull out, but it may be held in by the rubber seal. It's that seal that you need to replace when you put it back together. The old one may be left behind. Quote
