Raise wheel carrier with workshop hoist.

Loosen bolt on wheel carrier and remove air spring.

Caution!

Check roll fold of pneumatic spring.

Only install pneumatic spring with a correctly formed roll fold.

The roll fold is formed when the pneumatic spring is compressed. 

Seal off air connection with protective cap. This enables counter-
pressure to build up in air spring while pressing together and roll
fold forms more easily.

Check correct seating of sealing rings (1 ...2).

Note:

Do not under any circumstances grease sealing rings.
