The air shocks need to be replaced due to leaking fluid. I have already been told to remove the fuse for the air suspension pump before removing the air lines. What type connection is used to attach the air line to the air shock? Is a special tool needed to remove and reinstall the air lines?

Some have push/pull tpe connectors some are nuts like a compression fitting.
At the rear shock absorbers, the air tube connectors are held on with spring clips which snap into the grooves of the shock absorber air fittings. Air tube connectors are sealed using 2 O-rings
