30 - Air Bag and Strut finally removed from vehicle! – 324 views

29 - Airline with Connector removed from Air Bag – 335 viewsDo not remove the connector from the airline, if you do, you are likely to increase the chance of leaks when refitting
|
|
28 - Undo the Airline Connection – 321 viewsYou need a 12mm open ended spanner for this. Keep the airline pushed in while you undo it. It won't feel like you are doing anything, then suddenly it will be free.
|
|
27 - Clean the area around the airline – 308 viewsJust ensures no grit or dirt gets into the airline when you undo it, I gave things a good brush off and a blow

25 - Gently bring the strut down and support it – 320 viewsHaving the inner wheel arch off helps with the airline having a bit more freedom. I rested the bag on top of the hub, to get to work on the airline.
|
|
24 - Support the strut – 326 viewsBefore removing all three bolts, support the strut so that it doesn't drop. For me a small plank of wood under the strut and on top of the drive shaft did the job. The strut weighs about 35 lbs.

|
23 - Rel;easing the Spring from the top – 346 viewsUndo the innermost of the three nuts and mark the centre location of the bolt sticking through, for realignment when refitting (5/8" or 16mm socket needed)
