Wow, that went as planned, how did I manage that?
This is the old dead airbag. This is upside down from the way it goes in the spring, the nipple points down. You can see it has shaped itself to the spring. There is a series of cracks on the front side, and the biggest crack is the air leak. I managed to get the Elky up in the air on the scissor lift, remove the shock bolt, drop the trailing arm, remove the spring, then go cuss a bit while trying to get the old bag out of the spring. I have to compress it it down, and then put a vacuum cap on the nipple, and that keeps it deflated. Wrestle it out of spring, and getting the new cylinder shaped one in is pretty easy in comparison. Put the shock bolt back on, lower it down, air it up. clean up the work area, Ta Da. Even for the me, the worlds slowest mechanic, only 40 minutes from going out there do coming back in. I have working air bags again.
