Hello all, first post here
Today I attempted to remove and replace the front air suspension bag from my 1996 P38.
I managed to disconnect the top of the bag with no problem whatsoever however the bottom of the bag which is secured to the axle with the r pin is another story!
The r pin is stuck in place and will not budge!

I have tried soaking it for a few hours with WD40 but no avail, I fear I may snap the pin
As you will see in the pictures, the pin has bent with trying to move it.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that may help?

Thanks
Andrew
