67 How to change the spheres

====
Keep engine running and car in driving position height. Turn rear spheres 1/4.
Turn bleed screw on accumulator.
Lower car to lowest position.
Remove spheres.
====
I understand that the centre rear sphere is the most difficult to remove.
One clue I have heard is that the spheres may still be under hydraulic pressure and that this will lock the
thread.
There is a way of releasing the pressure that remains in the centre sphere even after the main system
has been depressurised.
If you find out how to do it please let me know.

*** De-pressurising the hydraulic circuits takes 12 pages in the handbook...For some operations special
equipment is required.
