More notes on the subject.

I can now do a bag in 15 min lol. Why? Well because I noobed it a bit and forgot to remove the paper gasket from the pass side OE spring and transfer it to the Arnott one. Realized this as I pulled out the driver side, and said dagnamit, I just bolted the pass side wheel on.

Also everyone must make sure to use bubble water to check connections. Everything sounded well when the springs inflated. No leaks. But I decided to spray down the connections, and the screwed on one that you release pressure with, was blowing bubbles. Boy was I happy I checked.

I used my 12" offset needle nose pliers to remove the bottom clip on the spring. The one under the car. Just sit by the hub, reach in and grab with pliers. Then push to back of car. Takes zero effort this way.

When installing spring, do the top retaining clips first. Get it lined up, and jam something under the spring. I used same pliers. Took no effort to slide top retaining clips back in. Bottom clip is a bit tougher, but you pull spring down, presuming you have enough man sauce, you hold it down one hand, and use the other to insert clip. Wiggle it with the hand holding it down. The retaining clip goes in fairly easy.

Oh and I used the diff to jack up the car, and then on Jack stands. Just make sure you don't jack against the cover.

All in all. Took me around 2 hours total for the job. Plus some cleanup time, and height calibration.
