Default FX3 bilstein removal

Probably a silly question but how do you remove these shocks at the top of each with the actuators on them. How does the actuator come off? I take it under that there is a nut and stud? I am making the conversion to QA1s all around and want to sell all these as a set so I dont want to ruin anything since they all work and function fine. Thanks

Pull off the clip that holds the actuator on first, then just lift off the actuator. How much you asking for the old set?

There is a "C" spring holding the actuators to the shocks. Pull it out and the actuator simply slips off.

How much do you want for the actuators?

I was thinking 250.00 for all four( shocks and actuators) ( that would include shipping) , one of them is only a year and a half old ( front ) it was bought brand new ( the shock and actuator ), they all function fine and the "service ride control" light has not been on since I replace that front. I believe that is less than one brand new shock if I am not mistaken. I havent researched it yet as you have sort of caught me off guard, I was not expecting to run the add until I got all four off this weekend and cleaned them up nice.
