mark, kind of you to say. normally my floor is cleaner than it shows in the pictures. i had been working for a while and had not cleaned it much lately. i try to make it so i can go barefoot if i want too.

the airbags are not all that hard to change. biggest issue is having the jackstands and tools and the actual airbags.....

. to make it easy you really need

1. 4 jackstands that can hold the bus. i used individual 22 ton jackstands.
2. a hydraulic jack strong enough to take the coach up enough to take the tires off. i use a low profile air over hydraulic jack
3. 1" air impact gun. i have special larger air line ports in my shop for that
4. big air compressor...
5. right 1" impact sockets for your wheels lugnuts
6. big open end wrenches for the lines on the bag. i think this time they were 1 1/2" and 1 1/4"
7. normal wrenches and sockets for airbag mounting bolts
8. helps to have a truck tire/wheel dolly to take the tire off and put it back on and wheel it around.
9. shop air helps alot for putting air in the suspension. i keep both of my newells hooked up all the time
10. a torque wrench to put 450-475 ft lbs of torque on when you are done. i have a 4' torque wrench and also use a 475lb torque stick.
11. a handy helper. i happen to have a retired farmer/mechanic next door. who is better than me at stuff....
12. the right music playing in the background
13. clarke to come and check if we are ok occasionally
14. and to be in no rush.

i have the luxury of being able to do all of these......
