Wrenching in the Newell Coach Factory Parking Lot! (Found More Paint Scheme History)

What happens here

Using a 3/4 inch ratchet wrench and a Milwaukee M12 Fuel Stubby Impact Wrench, the presenter attempts to remove the bottom bolts of the air spring. Due to limited space and the top bolts being difficult to access, he opts for a more aggressive approach. He uses a Milwaukee reciprocating saw fitted with a Morse Master Cobalt Hybrid blade to cut through the metal mounting components securing the air spring. This process quickly dulls the blade, requiring a replacement.

Goal: Safely remove the faulty air spring from the motorhome

Tools and materials
