Hello,

If anyone could please tell me what tools are needed to replace the rear air bags. I have all the parts I just need to know what type of tools are required.

Thanks

I am assuming just the regular old stuff (breaker bar, metric socket set, extension set, wobble extensions, never hurts to have a hammer around) plus a good floor jack and jack stands.

You should pull the negative battery cable when you do any work with anything electrical like that.

WOW thank you that is exactly what I was looking for... Do you happen to know the part number for the pin that goes in the bottom of the air bag. I am having difficulties locating this part.
