Your hads look dry. You should moisturize.
Haha, yeah, my hands get dry in the winter.
Sorry, I didn't get any photos of the new airsprings. They looked just like the old ones except they were clean, completely extended, and had new, somewhat shiney rubber.
I tried the method in the manual to get the rubber to fold properly as I compressed the airspring but I couldn't do it without 2 more dry hands.
I just put them in, then disconnected the rear height sensor and stuck a deep socket between it and the lower control arm to compress the sensor. Then I keyed on, and let the airsprings fill a bit, turned the switch off, and checked to make sure they were expanding and starting to fold straight. I did this a couple times and they looked fine.
Then I put the sensor and wheels back on and lowered the car slowly to a point just below the ride height. Then I keyed on , let the car pump up off the jack and test drove it.
