    Fitting SLS Spacer

    I have read the instructions from -http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Rear%20Air%20Springs.html
    On how to replace the airbag. Since I am only fitting a 50mm spacer. Do I have to remove the bag from the top mount?
    Or will just disconnecting the airline from the compressor so I can deflate the bags. Then will I be able to twist the bottom of the airbag to remove from bottom mount.

    As then I could just push the bag up fit spacer then just lower the bag down and give it another to twist to lock it in.

    I tried searching but I ran out of words to google. Plus I have to go buy a flare spanner. As I don't like using just a 10mm on pipe fittings.

    The top of the bag is only held in with 2 clips, an extra 10 seconds to remove

    Removing the bag will make the job a lot easier

    no need for a flare spanner

    Not actually a flare . Flare spaner is a bit of overkill for just this (unless you need an excuse....)

    I suppose your right I was just being lazy and I hate little clips. No matter what I do small clips like C clips. Always seem to go missing in the never never.

    Get some spare clips before you start, they often rust and break on removal, they are dirt cheap

    A 10mm spanner is fine for the air line, they are not overly tight and the connector is brass so you will get a good purchase on it
