DJUST THE AIR SPRING
Push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand or with a blunt
tool, such as a 1/2" socket extension. Do NOT use any thing with
sharp edges or corners, as this may damage the air spring.
When the air spring is completely within the coil spring, remove
the plug and tubing from the air spring. The tubing can easily be
removed from the air springs. Push the collar on the fitting towards
the air spring and pull out the tubing. Allow the air spring to return
to its normal shape. Insert the lower support between the air spring
and the lower spring seat see Figure "C".
