If the brass collar looks like a nut, it probably is, that means it hasn't been Retro fitted with the "Push Lok" style bags, I.E. Dunlop.

You can either undo it and replace with a similar bag, or cut it close to the nut and fit a Dunlop.

Thanks, these are Contitech bags.

p.s. the clips that hold the bag in place RKB101200C what is similar? I have only the three.

Clean all the dirt from around the entire fitting.

The SLS system is not complex and easily fixed when broken, there are many posts on troubleshooting etc.
Even the pump can be spruced up with new piston ring and "de-humidify" balls.

I don't get why people think coils are the way to go but I expect its because of old style urban legend stories about how unreliable air bags are.

Have had the airbags collapse, fail to rise, pump died, whatever, on D3, L322, and D2, and because I live and work remote and am often 1000's of k's from service support, mechanical/springs work best for me.
Have had to drive over 300K's on the stops on several occasions, and winced (for the car) every time I went over even a minor corrugation.
If I lived near a city, air suspension would be more viable, and a softer ride, but having it go down when you are in middle of nowhere just adds to the difficulties of remote travel.

clips are ANR1220.

last I bought from LR. But that was some years back.

British auto parts have them for $1.65 plus $7.00 postage! The joys of car ownership.
I wonder if a hardware shop has similar clips.

I have a box of various dimension E type clips and pushed on the proper dimension ones instead of those LR clips and no probs at all, this kind E-Type Circlip i wish i had this type which seems even better Circlip For Shaft | YS Fasteners . IMO you can use any kind of circlip which fits there tight

I modified one of those clips that go over door cards etc., to accept screws. I've had no problems with it.
