I am not quite picturing what exactly you are up against.

Unfortunatly when i went to new airbag system, i ended up sawzalling the air fitting end off. I still have the bag, might be good for someone that has a bad bag with a good end.

Kicked my butt for about an hour or more when caved and sawed it.

The lesson I took away, was pull off the air line, then install a schrader valve and inflate the airbag before removing the nut. That kept the bag from spinning when i went to remove the 2nd bag on the other side. Once that airbag spun, i think i was screwed on getting that nut off.
