Air Spring Bag removal problems...

[The Great]

Hello all. I recently replaced my air suspension compressor and have found leaks in the bags. I've tried to remove the air spring bags but they seem to be stuck. I pulled the large hair clip looking thing at the top out but it won't separate so I can remove them from the solenoid. Does anyone have any tips as I'm trying to avoid going to someone's shop.

Thanks. I have the new bags. I'm just having issues removing them.

Reach through the hole in the horizontal frame crossmember (below the bag solenoid attachment) with one hand. Use your other hand to secure the bag connector. Turn and pull. They have a locking tab that must be rotated to the correct position to disconnect.

Use silicone grease on the new O-rings. There are two, if memory serves correctly.
