Newell Coach Air Bag Install: I May Not Be Prepared for This... (FL2K Prep)

What happens here

After securing the top nuts with the impact driver, the creator uses a conventional wrench to hand-tighten the bottom nuts on the airbags, as the tight space prevents the use of the impact driver. He then prepares to install the large air line fittings into the top of the new airbags. Working in extremely confined spaces, he struggles with a small stubby wrench to tighten the fitting. He notes that the air line appears kinked initially but anticipates it will straighten out once fully tightened. He also briefly mentions needing to drain auxiliary tanks, though this is secondary to the airbag installation.

Goal: Secure the bottom of the airbags and connect the main air lines.

Tools and materials

  • Large Air Line Fittings — Connecting the air lines to the airbags

stupid rant back to work the top four tight two on each bag bottom one's tight over there i can't get to this one conventionally because of the controllers on the way so i'm gonna have to ratchet wrench to tighten this one now i have to get these big old fittings screwed up for the top of the bag which will be uh fun so that's pretty much all they got to do get these fittings in there nice and tight and then reconnect the air lines then boom that's it sounds easy enough right down here now it's a little stubby wrench getting that tightened up and it's just the way that line is kind of weird because how that fitting lines up um it looks like it's kink because it is but it won't be once i tighten it the whole way and it gets down and expands it's kind of like one of those real close quarters situations um we race car guys you know you know uh areas like that with a n lines where the bend is so tight that it's perfect when it's tight but you have to like get it like crank it back up and then tighten it to work it back out um you know what i mean that's that i'm doing this one first because it's easy it's closer and then i will do the uh the big line there i put the whole thing in and after that um i'm gonna drain pull some of these plugs out like this right here that's a drain plug there's so many freaking tanks under here like this is like an auxiliary tank for something and these big tanks here run the bags so this tank is for this side and this tank behind me is for that side but it's weird there's like a little firewall thingy here that kind of blocks the drain for this tank so i'm not sure how to get to that uh we'll find out so i'm gonna drain that get it all put back together and then i'm gonna air this thing back up and see if any of my lines leak so i know if they leak or not it's a pretty poppiest thing to say but whatever getting to it on the home stretch now
