Disconnect the air line and drop the axle enough for the air bags to come out.

You don't need to remove the bags to swap the rear end.

So just lower and they should pop off?

There is a spring clip holding them to the axle.

A bar of some sort may be necessary to seperate the 2.

You should let all the air out of the bags, the easiest way to do it is to put the car on jackstands letting the axle hang. Then get to the compressor and disconnect the air line. Disconnect the air ride sensor and push it up to simulate your ride height being to low. Roll down your drivers window, shut all the doors and trunk, then reach in and turn on your key but do not start the car. The compressor will run but the bags will dump because the solenoids will open to allow air in, but it will actually let the air out of the bags back through the compressor supply line. Once the air is out of the bags, it will be easy to pop them off the axle

It also might take about 20 seconds once the key is turned in for the air to start dumping.

Where's the compressor located

[Comin' in Hot]

Under the air filter box

Wheres the air ride sensor. Also do I disconnect all lines from compressor, theres six of em

[RubberCtyRauder]

air ride height sensor is on the watts link above the rear axle..be careful with it, they can be fragile and are expenisive and might be hard to get a new one i have heard.

pic for reference..it's the same for CV, GM, Marauder

If you see 6 lines you are looking at the wrong part...

Rearend is replaced, but I cant seem to snap bags on axle by hand.Whats the best way to snap in place? Allow air to flow back in?

[whitey]

Yep, as long as they're lined up, they will pop themselves back in.
