The other side (passengers) was much harder than the drivers side. But I did find, after two brusied elbows, several bashed knuckles and a couple of hours of battling both the bag and the discs, an easier way. I got the bag in about half way and could go no further. After an hour or two, I gave up. Finally decided that I need to go the hose clamp route again.....it worked on the first bag, but that clamp wouldn't fit this bag (too small). Bought a clamp that ranged from 3" down to 1-3/4". It did the job. I placed the clamp around the bag about 1/2" below the hole and tightened it (not too tight) until the bag could be pushed up. When the clamp touched the bottom of the spring pad, I loosened it and moved it down about 1/2", tightened, pushed the bag up again and repeated until it was in. The last couple of inches I tapped in with a block of wood, as before.
Then came the discs. They slipped in relatively easy on the first bag, but this one was a real battle. Not sure why the difference. I pried the top of the bag down and pushed the top disc into place (after a long fight) only to have it slip out and into the "A" frame. Then, whiile trying to figure out how to retrieve it, I noticed a big rectangular hole in the frame near the "A" frame joints. Reaching through that hole, I was able to slip the top disc into place without any problems. The bottom disc was another matter. It was a fight from the start and I never found an easy way, but it finally went into place and the hard part of the job is done. All that remains is to connect the air lines. I'm thinking I will put an air gauge in the line somewhere for an easy check of bag condition.
