Rick,
I replaced mine on a 85 pt40 relativly simple. I bult a ramp to drive
the mains up on using 2 2x8 which let the tags drope slightly. Set the
brake and block the tires for safety. Then remove the old air bags and
put the new ones in. 2 bolts on the bottom two on top with one being
the air line. I only had truble with one bolt and cut it with a
cutting tool. It was alot easier than I thought it was going to be.

Thanks, Rick, that seems like a good price. I wonder where we could buy them
in Ft Worth. Many thanks, also for checking on Sid. Ernie- in Montana

---John, Thanks for the info. I'am going to replace it tomorrow. The
bolts are really on there. I have sprayed them with PB lube and hope
that will loosen them up some. We are living in your neck of the
woods now, off of hwy 281 in Patillo,Tx.

-Ernie, I found my a Weldon in Dallas. They cost 142.00 each.
Also I went and seen Sid Clark at the hospital. He said to tell
everyone to say their prays for him and he would do his part on that
end to get better.

I found mine in Ft worth. I needed them the same day so I was unable
to shop around I think I paid about 25 bucks more than the ones Rick
found, Im sure they are the same mine were Firestone bags. Rick I used
a air rachet and the bolts came off very easy exept for one.

--John, I was able to remove the 3 bolts and the air line but i
couldn't get the nut that holds the air fitting up. Need to find a
socket to fit. Going to try tonight to finish the job.
