Ok did it.

The kit from Arnott is pretty cool. Even comes with a new line connector. Pretty easy to swap out. Pull out the compression ring with a pick, and pull off the tip.

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.
