So I finally rounded up the right sockets and an impact wrench. Took less than ten minutes to remove the bag with the right tools. I have capped the supply line to the tag so I can use the drive air bag to help support the coach. Here are pictures of the bag.
My mother had her asphalt drive covered with some sealant. I have never worked on a surface that mad me so dirty .
New bags on order from Chuck. I will cry if they don't fit

Thank you to Chuck at Newell. Bags were here 9 am Monday morning. The bag installed in less than fifteen minutes. Another example of fantastic Newell support.
Here are a couple of tidbits that may help out in the future three of the nuts are 3/4, and the one with the air fitting is 1 1/16. You need deep well sockets and an impact gun. Once I rounded that up I had the old one out in ten minutes. Fuggedaboutit without the tools above.
Also some tags have the bottom studs 90 from the top ones and some tags have the studs in line. Just for grins I loosened the center bolt on the old bag and guess what? The bottom plate will spin!

richard, i knew they did rotate, but with a new bag, there was some concern about doing it. firestone told me about but said it could be really tough to do with a new one. and leo knew about it but said he would prefer to not do it.
so we didnt try it
