What concerns me is any unintended damage induced upon reinflation, to the air system, air system settings, or the new springs themselves, as an effect from improper deflation.

Some have reported puncturing the current bags to deflate for removal. This is a sound method, though one of mine is fine and will be replaced preventatively.

If there is a way to deflate by loosening the banjo bolts at the air reservoirs, like when doing the rear air springs, where are they on the fronts? Are they also near the compressor in the trunk, or are there banjo bolts at the front springs?
