Anyone know what would happen if I just pulled this part off to inspect it?

Worst case is you’d get a qt of fluid and have to rebleed AHC. Probably just bleed at that bleeder there and proceed, right?

Take lots of pictures please. I have the same sliders.

Finally got around to installing the new damping actuator for the right front shock absorber. It wasn't too bad of a job. I put it in high mode and set a jack stand under the frame before releasing pressure through the bleeder valve. This limited the amount of fluid I lost and gave me some room to work. It's so nice to have the damping working properly again.

These actuators are not cheap! I got it a new one from megazip in Japan for the same price as used ones being sold on fee-bay.
