    Easier way. Drop the cradle lift out the old drop in the new raise the cradle. On IFS front ends similar choice. Fight them in and out or take a very few short minutes and undolt the upper a arm from the frame.

    Hey Joe, have you ever built a jig to air them up in and check for leaks before installing them?

    That's very dangerous you better make sure it's one hell of a cage cuz if the bag escapes it could kill someone. There's really no reason to air up in advance.

    With all the Leaky crimps on the new tag axle air bags that I've been getting that end in 2 5 9 I've been tempted to take one of them back off and shoot some green tire Slime into it I wonder how that it work I bet you it would work good. We need another test pilot.

    Hey Scott. Everyone, Scott has a 1 0f 4 Libertys ever produced without over the road ac. Now I've had my hands on 2 of them. its a 97 and Liberty put 4 togeather and Buddy Greg was where they were sent to be marketed.

    Back to the reason for the post.

    Clue these photos aren't of these components being put back together these are photos directly after disassembly.

    Oh no...there's a disc brake rotor in the same picture as a grinder ;-)

    And the grease looks fresh...

    Somebody took it upon themselves to take a hub that you're supposed to put 90 weight in and change it to grease. I've seen that done before I'm tag axles but it takes some nerve to do that on the steer axle on a bus.
