LVR is on a distinguished road
Got sick of waiting for Bilsteins to come into stock so took advice from AussieXer and ordered a new bag only as an interim repair for the wife's collapsed front strut (blown bag) on the 4.8is...

Removed the strut in a few minutes... easy peasy... then the old bag is seized on the strut shaft....

Surgical removal with hammer, rotary penetration tool and rotary scalpel...

Two hours of utter frustration... but got it apart in the end and now contemplating the put back together over a Corona...

I'm calling it an even fight so far ....
