Rear spring failure

Well, looks like I am in for another round of air ride work. Went out this morning and found the back of the car slammed, with the driver side sitting a little lower than the passenger side. It pumped up ok, but while it was down, I took the oppertunity to quick detail the roof, since it was easier to reach and all :D I don't know if it is the spring, or the valve, but seeing that the car is 12 years old and has 126k on it, I'm betting it's the spring. Has anyone changed these? Any instructions posted like the ones for the fronts? Thanks...
 
Air bags are very easy to replace, I'm sure there is a write up somewhere out there. Basically jack up the rear of the car and support it, shut off the air switch, then take off the tires, take off the sway bar links, unhook the shocks from the lower control arm and the arm will swing down low enough to get at the spring, disconnect the line, twist the selanoid part way to release the air, then after that pull it all the way out. Push in the clips on the bottom and push up the bag, once that is done twist it off the locks on the top and it pulls right out. Reverse the steps for install.
