I'm planning on attacking the rear air springs tonight on my '90 lincoln, and understand the process fine up until the last part: "Refill the air springs."
I understand not extending/unfolding the air spring during install, but the problem is it says *When installing a new air spring, care must be taken not to apply a load to the suspension until springs have been inflated using the air spring fill procedure. & *After inflating an air spring in the hanging position, it must be inspected for proper shape.
WTF? It doesn't say or show anything anywhere about the air spring fill procedure. Just says 'do it.'
Is there a fill valve somewhere, or do I cycle the switch in the trunk with the entire ass of the car in the air?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm planning on replacing the rear shocks first, then taking out the old air springs & putting the new ones in. I just don't get what I'm supposed to do before setting the car back on the ground without destroying the rear airbags. Thanks!
