I did mine last year without a manual. I didn't realise you were supposed to disconnect the ball joints and brake calipers. I didn't. The only hard part was getting the large bolts out. |

how did you re pressurise the bag before lowering to the ground, ...........is it a simple case of replace fuse and switch ignition on.......... |

I did mine a few weeks back in exactly the same way but before inflating I lowered it on to low axle stands to take the weight before starting the car up to inflate them , I would advise getting the alignment checked as you can't be 100% sure it's the same and for the sake of £30 it might save wrecking some tyres |

great shortcut. I would be tempted to (when the car is back settled and the bags reinflated) loosen and re-tighten the bolts holding the arms to the subframe to ensure the pre-load is not messed up.
