Front Airmatic bladder - special tool ?
Gents !
Today, my mechanic had planned to change both air bladders on the front Airmatic shock absorbers, but had to give up, because what he said he needed some special tool for a large clamping ring, as he mentioned. Can that be correct - and if yes, what to buy and there can we find and buy this special tool in the European Union ?
Thanks for your reply.

I think you need to find another mechanic. The front sorings are integrated ti the struts. There us no bladder that can be just changed. The strut has to be rebuild for it with special crimping tools. If your mechanic would be able to rebuild a strut he would already have these special tools.
