Thanks for the prompt response Tony. It's actually in a garage on a ramp to be done as I had a heart attack recently. Is that an hour per side, or for both please?
Hope you're keeping safe and well.
Kind regards,
Mike.
In a garage on a ramp not much longer than an hour. Pins rusted in and top caps seized may add half an hour if the guy knows what he is about..

Its dead easy...... if you dont want to struggle with any of it just take the wheel off, pull out all the black plastic clips the hold the wheel arch liner in, pull out the wheel arch liner, and then the big clip top and bottom that hold the airbag to the chassis.... just look away when you release the collett from the air line that connects to the bag, incase it flys out at you.

I did mine in less than two hours and I'd never touched an EAS in my life before.

Mine were a pain in the arse, as the clips in the top were seized..
\A repurposed coat hangar works well
That's my tool of choice. I would say an hour for both even if the caps are seized, unless those Voss connectors are on it. Pry bar and they pop out even if protesting.

Yup, the pins are usually rusted to fek so a pry bar just shears them.make sure you have the new onesbwith the bags.
Jon Dor we once spoke about joining us with the dodgy tickers, I didn't mean you had to go and do it
Keep safe pal and get better.
Keep safe pal and get better.
By the way took my neighbour just over an hour to do both bags on mine, with me sat supervising. As said have new pins at the ready.

I remember it well...think I said I wouldn't take it as a challenge! "Just thought I'd had a particularly vicious angina attack until I measured BP at 226/117. Collapsed just as ambulance arrived. Stent in first thing Monday morning, home by 18:00hrs. Just amazing!Jon Dor we once spoke about joining us with the dodgy tickers, I didn't mean you had to go and do it

Cheers Alan.
Surgeon said I was in good shape for a 67yr old, but if I'd been overweight, a smoker or heavy drinker, I'd likely have been on a mortuary slab rather than his operating table. Bye bye to saturated fats now! Mike.
