Rear Air-bag replacement instructions?
 
My air-bags for the rear suspension have been leaking for a little while, but they still pump back up, so the rest of the system appears OK. My new bags will be delivered today and I am hoping someone has done a write-up on how to change them out.

I tried searching in the H2 section on here, but I end up with so many results that have nothing do with what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have a link with how to do it? Hopefully with pictures! :)

I don't have airbags.... and I can't say that I have ever seen a writeup on any forum... but the job is pretty straightforward with common hand tools.

Thanks for the link, but that video is more like reading the instructions to you instead of actually showing you how to do it. It does give a couple of good tips though.

its super easy... i just replaced mine, tooke me maybe 30 minutes for both sides. Watch the video, and go for it... the hardest part of the job was disconnecting the airlines for me.

NO kidding! Everything is apart, but I CANNOT get the damn air lines loose! Any tips? I'm about to watch the video again, but it really didn't show much.

Figured it out! They threw me with the needle-nose in the video. I used regular pliers to grab the fitting and still leave the line free. Pop! and it was done.

Feels good doing your own work doesn't it??

I tend to wrench on all my stuff. I just hate not knowing exactly what I need to do. :)

I probably ought to get some service manuals for the H2. I have them for my other stuff and I'll usually dig in myself unless I need some really special tool or it's under warranty, assuming I have the free time to do it.
