Releasing air from the backside corners

Anybody with a suggestion how to release air from the 2 backside corners?
Front is at normal height and the back in off-road height causing a suspension fault (I think) and a torpedo look.
Wiggs suggested cracking the airlines but was unsure.
Anyone with another suggestion? CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

i doubt there is an easy way to fix it
if there is a difference between front and rear axle it could be middle cross link valve problem or hight sensor(s)
incorrect reading or phisical damage
Had same thing here in Waterford and had to recalibrate suspension

It started when the dealer diagnosed a compressor failure. The torpedo look started after the new compressor. With the broken compressor the car was level so I think height sensors are ok. The 4x4 screen provides accurate info on the individual corner height. Suspect that the suspension has to be calibrated and hoped to do that myself by levelling the car.
Looks like another trip to the dealer I geuss. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS
