Pull pipe marked 6 on the valve block. Push the collet in with a pair of long nose pliers.

Read the idiots guide, goggles and gloves release pipe from air bag. No need to de pressurise the system and no need for the vehicle to be on blocks either.

When I replaced my airsprings it took a quite a few attempts to get the airline to disconnect from the airbag. I almost gave up on the first one but eventually it came out. The next two came out easily but the last one again took several goes.
Hope this helps.
