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.
