My 99 Deville with 65K miles is riding high in the back. I've bled the air from the system several times, and each time, after a couple of weeks or so, the ride begins to creep up in the back. I believe the compressor is not exhausting properly. Should it be replaced? if so, How do I remove it? I've scoped it out, but it seems to be impossibly nestled inside the rear suspension. I'm capable under the hood or under the car, but could use a nudge in the right direction. Thanks for your help...

The exhaust solenoid is integral to the compressor assembly. It is a common failure of the assembly. It should come out with minimal complication.
