How to compress EMPTY air bags to remove
Here we go again with a 2000 Harney Coach 37 foot Riata with Firestone Air Ride air bags. Now my son and myself have the air bag nuts off both the top and bottom. There is a 2 inch bolt sticking out...

OK we finally got back with it today, and the award goes to DrewE for his suggestion. I have the two frame rails connected together behind the back wheels by a very large U shaped piece of really heavy duty steel that hangs down horizontally to just 6 inches above the ground under normal conditions. After several discussions with my son about trying this he agreed to try it. After blocking the front wheels very good, I used the leveling jacks to raise the two back wheels off the ground and we stacked about 14 inches of 2 X 6's right underneath where that U would come down on top of them when I raised the jacks. Then guess what happened! BOTH AIR BAGS WERE REALLY LOOSE AND CAME RIGHT OUT! Then my son said to me "If I would have listened to you in the first place we could have had this done a week ago". Thanks again to everyone especially DrewE for all the suggestions.
