Once the actuator is off, there's another nut holding the shaft to the chassis. It's all done by feel.

Any tips on how the actuator comes off?

Unplug it, then two nuts (10mm spanner) and lift off. Then the main nyloc nut holding the shaft. The shaft may turn as you try and unscrew the main nut, so you'll need to grip the shaft at the same time. If you're binning the shocks then use a pipe wrench or stilsons.

job done - took an angle grinder to the old rear shocks in the end and then just lifted the actuators out....

ride much improved on the es9000s and lifted new coils - fronts next weekend.

Cheers for the input.
