So once again, I'm changing suspension air bags. Did it on the 2003 Mercedes, and now on the 2015 X5. I hope the X5 is a little less frustrating of a logic puzzle to get the new bag in place, but I can't tell because I can't even get the stupid wheel off. (I've come to the conclusion that if you do drive an LR3/4 or New Defender, you should carry a spare set of these things with you when you go out on the trail.)
So I've done a few things to try to help it along:
Any ideas on what to do?
So I've done a few things to try to help it along:
- Left a few lugs on loose, lowered the car onto the ground, then again, and again. Shake the car.
- Rolled the car forward and back with loose lugs.
- Allowed it to sit for 4-5 hours with penetrating oil all over it.
- I have kicked it more than once.
- I have carefully attempted to pry it loose with a screwdriver, but I'm sure I'd chip the wheel if I did any more.
Any ideas on what to do?
