Few things to make is easier. CNC did his youtube vid with removing the two 22mm shock bolts, but that makes it so that the assembly hangs off the top 3 while you try to the the line disconnected. When I did the pass side, i took off the top 3 13mm, and that dropped the whole unit, letting me disconnect the air line much easier. Also nothing has a chance of falling. It took 45 min for the pass side, a bit over an hour for the drivers. Car went from floor with popped air bags to back down on the floor in about 2:20 min. Air tools deff make this job stupid easy, and I am very glad I have them.

And I got the air out of the second working spring, by just loosening the line. It really is not dramatic at all.

So yup, X back in action.
So you didn't remove the two 22mm bolts at all, just the top three 13MM and that dropped the unit low enough to remove the air line & bag? I bought just the bag as my car has semi-low miles...was gonna do mine tomorrow am. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark
