Ah brillint thank you for your help, is there an easy way to test them or just swP them with each other.

As you've got one working and one not, I'd just swap them over. Alternatively, the video Dazaa posted shows how to test them.

I rebuilt my system that had same problems on a C3 . As other guys posted , actuator vacuum seals sound likely cause especially if one works and other side doesn`t . Seal kits available from Corvette Kingdom at £47.25 for both sides complete when I bought mine last year . But as already posted , buy or borrow a vacuum test kit , they are not expensive and you can check the whole vacuum system for leaks . I found several including the non return valve on vacuum line to inlet manifold not holding vacuum . All these parts are cheap and worth replacing whilst you`re at it . I found the info on Wilcox Corvette website very useful and you can download vacuum circuit diagrammes . As Curious Bystander says , very risky disconnecting hood stay and wedging a pole in for extra lift . The extra inch or gained in space does help access the actuators from the rear and remove them . I had the hood off at the time anyway so was not an issue for me . They are quite heavy for only glass fibre construction so a two man job to get on and off . Good Luck
