yesterday i took one of the front 4 airbags off of glenn and laureen's 84. and yes, it is up on 4 22 ton jackstands...
interestingly enough, the front four airbags are different than the rear 4. i am taking one of the rear 4 off this morning but i am pretty sure they are the same bag as the one guy referred to in this thread. the front have a different mounting and air inlet than the rear.
the fronts are firestone W01-358-9447 or goodyear 1R11-066. had to do some minor investigation because one of the numbers was worn off the top plate. but in looking at the firestone catalog and confirming it by talking to firestone tech rep, it is this bag. you can look at the bellows(rubber bag and get a number), get the partial number on the top plate, and look at the diagrams along with a few measurements with a caliper and you know what bag it is. the goodyear drawing is better than the firestone in this case to figure it out.
the first front bag took me quite a while to get out. first of all, i am the size of sasquatch. and the bag mounts are virtually all on the inside of the frame rail. i will post some pictures later, but their was a nuance that made it hard to figure out how to get the bag out once the mounting nuts and bolts were out. next ones will be easier now that i know what to do.
i will also when i am done post what wrenches and sockets i used on this one.
